Day 1

Under careful observation, my son isn't acting his usual self anymore. This is so obvious now. My wife is clueless to how to help him. He has become sullen, withdrawn and communicates in grunts and deep moans that originate in the base of his throat. What worries me most is the cuts on his arm and neck. He's been losing weight for a while now. The only thing he will eat now is meat. Not just any meat, but raw meat. I've heard the choking sounds coming from his room as he brings his dinner upstairs and eats. I can hear the stomping on the floor from downstairs as he gags and retches, trying to keep the raw meat down, without vomiting.

His eyes have become bloodshot and his lips have turned blue. The dried blood of the steak is pasted around his mouth. We just don't know what to do with him. 

I've caught him more than once, eyeing up his mother. The looks he would give her, as if an animal was watching his prey, ready to pounce. Too often has he stood outside our door as his mother is changing her clothes. Whatever he's doing, he is listening and watching. He won't listen to me.

There is no light coming from his room, after dark. He almost seems to dance around his room at night. With each thump on the floorboards, a low grunt can be heard. 

He stopped going to school a few weeks back. We almost keep him in this house as a caged animal. We don't know whats wrong with him.
