Ficlets

March 18, pt 1

It’s 4 o’clock in the morning and I just did the unimaginable, I tied Catherine to the bed! Three times she tried to “rescue” Daniel. I tracked her down by the driveway just now. She was screaming for Daniel to run away from the “ghost snakes.” The first time I heard her walking down the hall because of the squeaking boards near the steps. That was around midnight. The second time she slammed the door and woke me – must have been 2 o’clock or shortly thereafter.
When I caught up to her, she was in a trance-like state. She seemed conscious and reacts to things but also reacts to things that aren’t there, like she’s haunted.
I did the only thing I could think of – I tied her legs to the bed posts. I’ll tie her leg to mine when I go back to sleep. I simply do not know what else to do at this point.
