I watch him everyday

 
I watch him everyday. My life depends on it. I know his movements in and out. Well, at least i think i do. I have to. How he breathes. Which side he likes to sleep on when he's pretending to sleep. I know him more than i know my own wife.

We've been together for 6 years my wife and I. I've only met him twice before now. I've known him for exactly 7 days in total. You would'nt know it when i begin to describe him. He watches me too. Probably knows as much about me as i do about him. And he knows I know.  
 
We are stuck in this perpetual dance. Attempt after attempt. Trying and trying. Until one of us perishes. If he lives he'll continue to haunt me. Day. Night. Every waking moment of my stay here. So he must die.  
 
I haven't slept for four nights in a row. My mind is beginning to play tricks on me. I'm Hearing voices. Seeing figures in the corners of my eyes. Irritability. General discomfort. But i cannot afford to let my guard down. Slipping up in this situation is detrimental. But im so tired. I've done so much. Perhaps my time has finally come and i'm just in some form of stubborn denial.  
 
Maybe i should just let it happen. Close my eyes and drift away. Allow him to retire me violently in peace. Perhaps he is my angel. Sent to accost me to hell. Like all the bad guys i've sent before. But then how do i know that I'M not the angel? Maybe I'M the one who's supposed to send HIM to the lake of fire and i just dont know it yet. Neither does he. It would make sense considering they placed him in the same ward as me. It must have been ordained through the holy edicts as is protocol in heaven.  
 
I must stay awake to fulfill this prophecy. Do Gods will. There might be redemption for me at the end. For every bad there's a good. My good has finally come. This must be done as is the wish in heaven. In Gods name i MUST get it done.

I was inspired when i was admitted to hospital and from my bed would watch two of my fellow patients constantly bickering and fighting each other day and night
