I:

Clare. Who is she? Where did she come from? Why was she here? It’s been five days since she first came to my house. Five days and everyone’s okay with it? What is this? How did this even happen?

II:

Strange things happen when Clare’s around. I have a ghost jazz band playing my basement. I hear them every night. My mom didn’t mind them. I wished they didn’t have to be so loud. I tried go down and talk to them about keeping it down. The music still goes on loudly.

“Who are they?” I asked Clare. She smiled and shrugged at me.

III:

Why was she here?

“What are you doing here?” I asked her.

“I am just a drifter,” Clare said. I narrowed my eyes at her.

“Right…” I muttered. “Where did you come from?”

“I don’t know,” she said.

“Who are you?” I asked. She leaned forward with a catlike smile on her face.

“I am an alien and a demon,” she said.

“Huh?” I asked. Clare leaned back, smiling.

“That’s right,” she said. “Don’t believe me? You will soon. Yeah.” My right eye twitched. What the hell is this bullshit?

IV:

I can’t get her out of my head. Does she have to live in my house? And my head? Clare tried to run me over with her vespa and denied that she did. Now she’s living here?

Why was Clare so beautiful? That long black hair. Those deep red eyes. How could she eat so much and still remain tiny?

I… I almost want to kiss her.

Whoa! Where did that come from?

V:

She isn’t going to tell the truth. But I had already figured as much. But I can’t let it go? Who was Clare? Why was she in my house and head? Who did she think she was?

Gah! This is fucking with my head!
