Hit or Miss (desperate monologue challange)

How did he know I was home alone? How did he know the window would be unlocked? Oh God! Oh God! Why is he breathing so heavy? I have to relax, I have no relax. RELAX ! Oh God! What if I miss? I can’t miss, I won’t miss. This will work. But what if I miss? Oh, God! Stop! I’m going to throw up. What is that noise? We have to be stopping soon. We have to get gas, it was empty. Or was it full? No, it was empty. He has to stop. Oh, God just stop breathing so heavy! What is he thinking? I have to relax. Stop sweating. He has to stop! What is that noise? RELAX ! It’s the ocean, oh God I’m going swimming! Why the ocean? The water! THE WATER ! Sharks,drowning,the cold! I’ve got to relax! If I don’t relax I will miss! I can’t miss. I won’t miss. What if I miss? Oh, God what if I miss? I won’t miss if I just relax. RELAX !
