The next couple days I google deaths in the city, but can't find anything about a kid named David dying in a store.

I even try different names—Daniel, Dylan, Devon. Nothing. A few weeks go by without incident.

Sort of randomly, the apartment above mine is vacated, and I have the opportunity to move into it. It's a larger apartment, so I'm thrilled.

And everyone lived happily ever after, right? Wrong.Another month or two goes by, and I sort of forget about Dear David. I think he lost track of me because I moved upstairs.

Oh, here we go...But lately, something strange is happening.

For the past 4 nights, my cats gather at the front door at exactly midnight & just stare at it, almost like something is on the other side. pic.twitter.com/Y8nnVLv6b4

Last night I got a weird feeling and looked out the peephole, and I'm dead certain I saw movement on the other side.

When I opened the door and turned on the hall light, nothing was there, but my cats seemed unnerved. Bushy tails, etc.

Adam went quiet for two days, meaning either (A) it all blew over, or (B) Dear David found him and he was not super alive anymore. Then he returned to Twitter to give us an update on the situation...And that's where I am right now. Dear David found me, I think. I don't know what to do. I'll keep you updated.

Update: for the sixth night in a row, my cat has walked over to the door promptly at midnight and stared at it. pic.twitter.com/97oSBLfOIw

Cats are inherently evil anyway (ask anyone who doesn't own a cat, they'll tell you), so we're not sure we'd trust their instincts. However, things don't stop there...What is going on? pic.twitter.com/30mLSqYhXo

Ok, so I took a photo through the peephole cuz I'm too scared to open the door. I feel like I saw something.

I couldn't tell so I mustered the courage to open the door. Nothing was out there but I took another photo. Look at this:

Is it just me or is is there something in the first photo, right where the bannister meets the shelves? Hiding on the stairs. pic.twitter.com/s1g9bRzOPj

I wasn't sure if it was a smudge or something so I took a second photo from inside. There was something out there. pic.twitter.com/NnHepK90aC

I deadbolted the lock and got in bed because I don't know what else to do. I can still hear my cat meowing at the door.

Well that f*cking cat can't be helping any! And so each and every night since the began tweeting, the cats have been at the door, freaking their owner out.I am pretty scared. pic.twitter.com/Z6CZ8c20EA

I'm heading to bed, but the cats are back at the door. They *only* do this in the middle of the night. It's routine now. pic.twitter.com/Ycb2JXpnFl

And here we go. Just minutes before midnight. pic.twitter.com/vZ7MGCumpu

And as of now, that is where we are. Adam is alive and well and still super haunted. On the plus side, if Adam does survive this, he's got some, uhm, supporters...I don't even know if this is the right kind of salt. pic.twitter.com/aE7QapNarC

I know you're tweeting through trauma and all, but I just wanted to say that you're cute. pic.twitter.com/4EohfDcvOq
