I just left my house for a couple of hours and when I got back I realised I hadn't locked the front door! It's a big old draughty house, so I'm trying to reassure myself that the noises are "just the wind" or even "the house settling". One of those old slasher film tropes anyway. It's not doing much to calm my nerves.

It's going to be one of those barricade-the-front-door-and-sleep-with-the-lights-on nights. I can tell.

There's nobody there, Niki. They aren't behind you. That vague reflection on the monitor isn't a face at your shoulder. If you look around it won't smile at you - it hasn't enough left of its mouth.

I wonder whether Ramsey has ever thought of volunteering for The Samaritans...

Well, do remember that Samaritan is an anagram of Ra, I'm Satan...

Interesting story idea coming to me... a purveyor in the sado-masochisitic arts is hired for some kind of highly controversial shoot - insert lots of dire "uh-oh" set-up, ala King's 1408 - goes there to do the job... but it's been mysteriously cancelled. She comes home... to find her door unlocked... on a lonely, windy, eerie-sounds-filled night... phone-lines cut... all her clothes burned in a pile (i.e., forced to stay in the costume she wore to the job)... runs to the door - now barricaded - she's trapped... it's easy to fill in the "etcetera"....

"It's a man. I think he's trying to scare me."

I'm trapped here in my Victorian parlour maid's uniform and someone's just sent me a baffling text that says only: "Internet Explorer presently insecure (Ceefax 117)."

What does it all mean???

All the knives have been discarded... anything that could be used as a weapon... she finds bullwhips, cat-o-nine-tails, laying about...

... but what about the Barbie Dolls that she finds laying about?... one after another... first they were in traditional S&M garb... then sans clothing, bearing various ugly mutilations... then there were Barbies body-masking-taped, totally bound to the neck - those heads with their idiot grins, hair flowing free... and now she finds one, lacking a head....

Cue: Kaiser Soze.
