Book Excerpt:
From Chapter 3:
The clock ticks, five minutes to ten. Lilly stands behind Lisa impatiently. “Lisa.” Lisa is startled. “It’s almost ten. How is that e-mail coming along?”Lisa hides the screen where she types her daily thoughts and puts the project back up on the monitor. “I’m just about done. I’m sending it now. I just have to attach the document.” Lisa scrambles and nervously hits the send button. Lilly walks off after thanking Lisa.Lisa thinks to herself. “I might as well just bite the bullet and use my lunch hour to my advantage today.” At around noon, she finds herself in front of a door labeled “DR. BETS – PSYCHOLOGY”. She takes a deep breath before entering.The Receptionist smiles and hands Lisa a clipboard. Lisa takes a seat and closes her eyes for a moment. She can’t believe that she sunk to the level of seeking psychological assistance.
From Chapter 5: Lisa wakes up startled in the dark. “Where am I? What’s going on?” She looks around and realizes she is still in Jeffrey’s apartment. “I must have fallen asleep.” The classical mix with creepy movie sound effects is still playing.She glances at the dinner, gets up and staggers to the kitchen. She places the food back in the refrigerator. “Jeffrey can eat this after his game. I have to get out of here.”She gets down to the sidewalk and walks nervously along thinking those strange thoughts. “Maybe the walk is good to give me time to think. Maybe too much thinking is not good. Maybe I shouldn’t think of the crazy things. But if I tell myself not to think of the crazy things, I will think of the crazy things. Just like if someone says, don’t think of a yellow garbage truck, what’s the first thing you think of? A yellow garbage truck. Why is that voice in my bathroom so concerned about my ailments and how I cover them up? Are these thoughts bringing on an attack?”
