66 with my actual eye itself. My left eye was watery/runny. In the mirror I saw it was pink. Funny because it was fine before I went to bed. At this same time I also began to realize there were pains happening in my uterus and ovaries area. But I wasn’t getting my monthly. I had never had pains like that in there before. So this was certainly a first. I curiously pressed in on my uterus/ovaries area to try to alleviate the pain. Then the images started. I soon realized as I went about my day that there was a constant barrage of "Gray alien” faces in my mind anytime I closed my eyelids. Gray faces from ALL angles, three dimensional. Staring straight ahead, faced to the left, to the right, large, small, all kinds. Sometimes just the large, black slanted eyes. Anytime I blinked or closed my eyes, it was there. Nonstop. Like internal wall paper for the mind. At first it was a novel thing. By the end of the day, twelve hours later, I was a wreck, because it would not stop. I ran into one of my roommates, Denise in the kitchen in the afternoon. She smiled and apologized for the fight that had happened the night before outside my door between her and Todd. I looked at her blankly, and shook my head back and forth. I had no idea what she was talking about. She frowned and said, "You know, the fight we had. You couldn't have missed it. We were right outside your door!" She told me how Todd had come home at 3 a.m., loudly throwing open the front door, going down the hall to his room and turning on the TV full volume and leaving his door open so he could hear it while he cooked food in the kitchen, banging pots around all over the place, whistling super loud. He woke her up and she came out of her room, pissed off, and they totally got into it there in the hall right outside my door, yelling at each other. I had NO idea what she was talking about. When I told her so, she started to get annoyed, thinking I was jerking her around. She was really sensitive and didn't like people playing her. "Carissa...don't lie, you HAD to have heard it. Come ON! Please!” She said they even tried to call me through my door, saying "Carissa? Carissa? Sorry about all the noise...” but I never answered. They thought it was a little weird because I'm a light sleeper and hear everything. Chasing Phantoms i
