[ It isn't something she's discussed much, even with the people who had to deal with the creature firsthand. It just seems easier to pretend that's all it was--a monster. But... ]
When everyone was having nightmares, I wasn't. Yours wasn't the only dream I ended up in. But there was a creature that followed me around for a few weeks. I didn't realize that's what was happening at first, but it kept appearing. At first I would just hear it, then it would be waiting at the bus stop or outside the dormitory. Then it started to try and hurt people. It tried to eat them. I thought it was a monster and I wanted it gone.
Then it tried to talk to me...and I felt bad. I didn't know why, but when it finally listened to me and I told it to go away, it just said it didn't want to be forgotten.
Well, now I know why it made me sad. I haven't seen much about this other life that everyone keeps talking about, at least not until now. What I thought was an angry monster? It's my brother. The other me's brother.
I know that doesn't mean much to you, but since you shared something with me and I haven't really been talking about this to many people, it just felt a little unfair that I would know something important if you didn't too.
