@arkawaiting wants a starter
Evan’s not doing much of anything. It seems like the days in which he has less to do all blur together. No work? No plans? He played some video games, he watched some tv. And now he’s just laying on his couch looking at the ceiling. He’s alone right now. And honestly, he’s starting to hate being alone more and more. He constantly feels like he’s being watched. Maybe that’s why he makes sure he has a knife on him at almost all times.
Add the obvious paranoia to the fact that his mental state has been steadily declining over the past few... Well, since this shit started. Intrusive thoughts were almost constant. Thoughts he hated. Vivid daydreams. Nosebleeds. Nightmares. Deja vu. Sometimes he just felt like he wasn’t in control. Like he’s doing things without even knowing why. And sometimes, he swore he could hear voices or see something out of the corner of his eye.
But he’s fine. None of this was totally new, it just seems like it’s getting worse. Likely because of stress. And he knows his friends are worried about him. That’s why he’s not calling anyone. They shouldn’t worry. He’s supposed to be tough, brave. He could take it... Right?
He’s still zoning out when he hears a knock at his door. He sits up and grabs the knife that was laying next to him. Why the hell is he so nervous? It’s not like a monster or whatever is gonna knock on the door. Regardless, without much thought he finds himself approaching the door. He moves the knife to his left hand and uses his right to turn the doorknob. He barely opens the door and keeps the weapon hidden behind it. Who does he see? An unfamiliar woman.
“Uh... What’s up? Can I help you?” He asks, more than a little confused.
