Maybe Margery should just put herself out of her misery. Then, she wouldn’t be worried, paranoid, not sleeping, not eating, or doing anything. She couldn’t live like this, and she felt like the rest of her life was going to be like it.
But at the same time, she wanted to live the rest of her life. She wanted to try things.
“I need a new life,” she whispered. “I need a new identity.”
But where was she going to get one?
“Probably the dark web,” she chuckled. “But how do you get to it? How do you find the right people?
How was she going to go about that? Was she going to try and start a new life? Did she even have the funds for that?
She groaned and put her face in her hands. There was just too much to think about, and she was becoming overwhelmed. So overwhelmed that she didn’t want to think about anything.
Margery relaxed on the couch to the best of her ability. It was hard when the zebras were staring into her soul. She tried putting them on the dining room table behind her, but she felt like she could feel them looking at her. Even if they were facing the opposite direction.
That’s how anxious she had become. Even when they were facing the other direction, she had this fear they would magically turn around and be staring at her. So, she placed them back on the coffee table in front of the couch to keep an eye on them.
Crazy.
She was going absolutely crazy.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
She stared at the door in confusion. Who was there? Margery pushed herself off the couch and walked toward the door, opening it.
The first thing she saw were two zebrassitting on the porch in front of her door. Her whole body froze as she stared at the new blue and purple animals. Where had they come from?
She gasped. There had been a knock on the door, which meant a person had been there. Her gaze searched the surrounding areas until they landed on someone walking away.
“Hey!” she yelled. “Stop right there!”
She stepped out of her house and speed-walked in his direction. He had to be the one who put them on her porch. He was the only one outside right now.
“You! Stop right there! I’m talking to you,” she continued to shout as she ran down the steps and onto the sidewalk.
But by the time she made it to the end of the sidewalk, he was gone. Where did he go? She looked right and left, trying to find out where he could have snuck off to, but there was no cover. But there were no cars out on the street; the only thing left were houses.
“You can’t hide from me!” she screamed, knowing she sounded like an absolute maniac. There was obviously nobody out here. “Come out and talk to me!”
She spun around, trying to see if the person was going to come out or not. But as she continued to turn around, she realized he wasn’t going to come out.
“Fine. Be a coward!” she screeched.
Margery waited a couple more seconds to see if she had angered him enough to come out, but he didn’t. She scoffed and turned around, heading back to her house.
But as she was walking back, she saw one of her neighborsstanding out on their porch looking directly at her. The neighbor looked at her pitifully and shook his head.
“Sorry,” she mumbled, knowing full well he wasn’t able to hear her.
She looked absolutely crazy. No doubt they were going to call the police or some department to come and get her. She didn’t want or need that. Then, Adalisa would be right.
Grabbing the two stuffed animals, she quickly slipped into her house and shut the door.
Why were there two now? Normally, she only got one, but this time, it was different. Had she done something to warrant two? Or had one of them been out there for a while?
She sighed and placed them at the very end of the line. Her eyes narrowed on the heart where the word normally was.
The number2was embroidered on the first zebra.
