His wife told him he had been watching too damn many weird movies and that was his problem she told him it would be enough to keep anyone from sleeping. Sean sat on the edge of the bed pouting at his wife's digs. He was already feeling bad for having told her about any of this to start with he was glad he had not told her the whole thing he knew she could really slice him up with information like that. Sean had to start getting ready for work and he was exhausted it had been another sleepless night and he was not sure just how much more he could take.
Sean showered and half assed ran a razor across his face grimaced at his dark circles while he looked in the mirror. Sean drew the razor down the side of his face glancing in the mirror he was startled when he saw the reflection of a woman behind him. He turned and looked and did not see her he looked around the room and there was no one there. Sean turned back facing the mirror and noticed the blood running down the side of his face he did not remember cutting himself and was a little confused by the blood. Sean began wiping the blood away and could not seem to get the bleeding to stop. He walked into the kitchen Terri looked up and saw Sean and asked what had happened. Sean told her he was shaving and did not know he cut himself. He did not mention to Terri about seeing the woman. Terri began trying to clean up Sean's face this is when she noticed how deep the laceration was. Sean continued insisting he did not cut himself and did not know what had happened. After Sean was cleaned up and Terri was sure he was ok she headed out for work she was still very concerned for Sean.
Sean called the office and let his secretary know that it would be a couple of hours before he would be in to work and that he could be reached at home. Sean was still very shaken by the incident and began feeling that panic again. He sat down on the couch cradling his head with his hands and desperately fought sleep. There were candles all around the room the furnishing were antique and there was an aroma in the air that was familiar to Sean he just could not recall the name of the scent. It was a light floral scent. There was soothing music playing and he could hear humming in a nearby room the humming was a soft voice a soothing voice the voice of a woman. Sean sat in the glider chair facing the picture window overlooking the river and several varieties of trees.
When she walked up stopping behind Sean and putting a hand gently to each side of his face she continued humming that beautiful tune. Sean could feel her breasts pressed against the back of his neck and could smell her perfume. She leaned over and kissed him gently on the side of his face. Sean reached up and took each of her hands bringing them to his mouth and kissed them gently. "Make love to me", she whispered seductively into his ear. Sean led her by the hand around from behind him to face him and he could see her beauty. A flash of red was all Sean could see after that. The entire room went red. Sean was sitting on the side of the couch drenched in sweat and his heart was racing he felt as if it were going to burst right out of his chest. A scent lingered in the room he remembered now what it was taking a deep breath and quietly saying "honeysuckle", the smell was honeysuckle.
After a minute or so Sean noticed the blood on his sleeve and decided that his face must have started bleeding again. Sean went into the bathroom and in the mirror saw a laceration down the other side of his face nearly identical to the first one. Sean became frightened and began screaming.
Terri got there as quickly as she could after receiving Sean's call she did not know what had happened only that something was very wrong with Sean. When Terri got to the front door of the house she was overcome with a putrid smell. She began gagging when she went in the front door. Terri was calling for Sean and he did not answer. She found him in the bathroom staring into the mirror and yelling "leave me alone why don't you go away and leave me alone?" Terri noticed that Sean had vomited all over the floor and the sink and this was the source of the odor. She also noticed the blood on Sean's face and the new laceration.
