when i was little, we had a neigbor; an old man with a weird hat he'd always wear. he was always a bit scary. our wall in the bathroom was tile. all the tiles had the exact same drawing thing on it; it was peach-ish with squiggly lines; no "picture" but im my imagination, there was an outline of that man & his hat. only i could see it, and my parents never knew why, but i was always scared to go to the bathroom or take a shower, because i thought he was watching me.
