[ WP ] Something has been watching you and following you your whole life . You are full at aware but never told anyone because they would think you were crazy . It has never tried to talk to you or harm you , but today you finally try to see what it wants .

I'd read about them... The Otherlanders. What a nice story it had been. A man lost in between reality and technology who is stalked by a large short rotund and an eerily tall elegant thin. How nice this story is I had mused, what creativity it brings. 
 
 The story never left me though. Some thing about it became pegged to the back of my brain. Sitting there. Watching. I went back to my normal life, but some part of me stayed aware. I did n't realize it until the second or third time. `` Oh hey, look at that fat little man and that tall skinny man, that reminds me of the otherlanders'' I had been so ignorant. It continued though. Everywhere I went I began to notice their embodiment. In women, men, couples, creatures, but never acquaintances... I never recognized them. Just their size relation. I'd never re - see them after I stole a glance, but they would return. Walking through a brewery hand in hand, making a delivery in the field I was working, sitting at the movies, riding bikes in the street, the birds in the windows, squirrels in the tree. Always there! Always 2. What did they want? This could n't be coincidence anymore? 
 
 What had the story been about? I tried to find the story again, but there was no trace, no similar tales anywhere online or in libraries... it began to eat at me... what had the man haunted by these creatures wanted? Needed? Loved? What did he... fear? 
 
 
 
 
 I resolved to speak with them today. I have never tried to. I'm standing in the middle of the feild waiting for 1 short rotund and tall elegant to invade my presence. To observe or follow me. The wind ruffles the cheat grass and sagebrush around me. I can here the highway rumbling over the hill side behind me as I scan the plains... 
 
 `` Hello Elat'' 
 
 They stood before me... I saw no footprints in the sand indicating there approach. I reeled in fear, but noted the tall thin regally boned man in front of me dressed in a tight pinstripe suite next to a small man with a bowler cap and portly mustachio attempting to hide parts of his bulbous face. The mustachio was failing... 
 
 `` How? How do you know my name?'' 
 
 `` elaT daS, this is your name?'' 
 
 `` Why are you following me? Why were you following HIM? I know you are otherlanders! `` 
 
 They turned their heads together in puzzlement. 
 
 `` Are we? We have been following you yes. Yes indeed, for quite somewhile'' 
 
 `` Why? What do you want!? I ca n't take this anymore! If you're going to kill me just do it! I ca n't live my life in your shadows anymore! `` 
 
 Sweat dripped down my brow into the sand and I tried to fight the tears that began to break out and leak down from the corners of my eyes. 
 
 `` I just... ca n't do it anymore'' 
 
 `` Surely elaT daS we would never harm you, we simply want you to remember. Remember why we follow those we do. What it is we want from them. From you.'' 
 
 My brain reeled back to the story. I had tried a million times to remember the reason. How many nights behind locked doors had I tried? How many conversations had I missed lost in my own thought over that very question? How distant did all my friends and family become the longer I asked it? This is n't my life... 
 
 `` I want my life back!'' 
 
 `` Good, where did it go?'' only the tall thin man spoke now. 
 
 `` You ca n't...'' 
 
 It hit me like a wave. I remembered he was a coma victim he... 
 
 what is that light? 
 
 Why is my mouth so dry?? 
 
 `` Oh my god! Everyone he is waking up everyone. Can you here us? Son, my boy are you there?'' 
 
 `` Oh my goodness, sweetie can you hear me? You have been out for 3 months? They tried to call off our wedding'' 
 
 `` Girls let him breath, he is probably disoriented'' 
 
 I opened my eyes. My family and fiance stood at the side of my bed. The light was bright here... I could see a doctor in the corner. 2. One was very tall, a female with perfect facial features and a large pronounced nose. The other... The second was a male nurse, fairly heavy set and hairy, but tan and of a handsome construction. 
 
 I watched them leave the room and heard the female whisper to the nurse as they closed the door...
