Chapter 3 - Entry 03 - Grocery Day

Hello diary,

Here I am once again. Today was one of those days where things were not quite as smooth as I wish they would always be. I come to my journal in hopes of giving myself some peace of mind. That is why I do this, to store my experiences that I cannot share with anyone.

You know, it is kind of weird. I get paid for doing this job, yet I have never met anyone to even hire me for this job, I just figured out my powers one day and wanted to use them for good, so that people would not get hurt. Yet, I can still live a normal life just because I get paid so much...maybe it is the government? Either way I am grateful.

Let's get this started by being blunt, I was attacked today. The good news is, is that at least it was the only one I found today. So there I was, midday walking down the market street I have. I mean hey, even I have to grocery shop sometimes. So there I am looking at the meats stall when I feel a chill go down my spine. Even though that happens rather frequently, I still feel worried every time. I look to the side and see an aura full of mouths. Sometimes the secrets notice me so I try to keep myself discreet in those instances. The woman was okay and still had hope thankfully, so I inched over when suddenly it went and bit my shoulder. It just left teeth marks though. I stepped away and looked at the woman. When I went to start a conversation though, she ran. "Tch" I said, and briskly walked after her. She had ran into an alleyway, to which I turned to walk in and see her standing there. "Hey, hey it is okay." I tried explaining to her that I was not here to hurt her, but secrets have a way of influencing ones mind. I took a step forward toward her, but she stepped back. So, I realized in this situation that it was better to keep my space as I started doing the steps to exorcize the secrets. It is always harder this way, and this time was not any easier. It hurt me as I absorbed it, kind of like eating really spicy food. I finally finished and took a breather, and watched as the lady started crying. I still kept my space, but she came up and hugged me, thanking me for things she did not even know about.

I finished my shopping and headed home. At least we both made it through another day.

End entry.
