Chapter 21

I’m here.

Okay, apparently, I could do it. The diary went flying by my will, not something paranormal

“Ohhh. What’s happening here?”

My heart raced. I was trembling. Every nerve in my body was tingling. Every hair, from the top of my head to the few strands on my toes, stood on end. Unless I was losing my damned mind, the response had come as I’d stared. One letter at a time, I’m here had materialized, like some feat of magic or other worldly phenomenon.

“Calm down. Calm down. Calm the fuck down!” I put my hand on my chest. I pressed hard there, to stop the organ that gave me life from exploding past my ribcage and through the flesh and hair. “Sorry, Jefferson,” I said, attempting to collect myself. “I want to pick you up, but to be honest, I’m scared shitless.”
