He imagined the fence, a dark, looming presence, casting a shadow over his house. He didn't know why, but he felt an awful premonition, a sense of impending doom. He went to bed, trying to fall asleep, but it was impossible.

He kept seeing the plans for the fence in his mind. He was having difficulty getting them out of his head. He started to feel like this whole thing was about him.

He started hearing noises, the wind, the creaks of the house. He imagined someone outside, watching him. He got up and locked all the doors and windows. Then he checked them again.
