Safe? Right....

Seeing Sally slow her pace, he ducks behind a tall hedge. He smiles when he sees her turn.

Love your nervousness, cunt.

He watches her scan the area, then look down at the mutt who seems to reassure her. He remains concealed as she continues on. He waits, then resumes following her.

Hidden across the street from her house, he waits. Looks down at his watch.

Any time now.

His homework had been thorough. He knew Sally went on an evening walk about this time each day. He’d have preferred her to be alone. But he knew her mutt was no real threat to him. Least, hadn’t been so far. And he’d done this a few times—stalked Sally, but always at a greater distance.

But tonight’s different. He wants her to feel him. Wants to scare her. He likes that—scaring people. Makes him feel more powerful. More in control. And he craves control above all else.

Whatever he wants, he gets. And what he wants now is to rattle Sally’s cage. Make her uncertain. Question her safety.

Safe? Right…. Bitch ain’t safe. Not with me around.
