Stalker
April 29, 2012
    She was followed by a man.  She was in a hurry on her way home from her work.  It was 10 p.m.  This city was medium size and her job place was not far from her apartment so she usually walked.  But today she deeply regretted her decision to walk.  She should have used a bus or taxi.
    At first she didn't realize that he was following her.  In this late hour very few people were in the street and now he and she were the only people around there.  
    At last the man caught up with her and said "Didn't you drop this money? It was a
1000 yen bill.   He added, "When you went out from the convenience store I watched the money drop from your bag.  I wanted to get you immediately but my legs were injured.  And I couldn't shout because of my sore throat."  He wore a big mask.
    She thought, "It's not strange if he has a cold but it's also convenient for him if he wants to hide his face.  I stopped by the convenience store but I don't know whether I dropped any money or not.  He looked to be in his late 40's.  He didn't look a bad person.  But looks can be deceiving.  He might be a thief!  When I receive the money he will grab my hand and take my handbag.  Of course I will resist against him and he will take me to the bush and...    He must have intended to rape me from the beginning!"  
    She started to run, and looked back to see if he was following...  But,nobody was there.  He was gone!  
    Instead, the 1000 yen bill remained on the center of the road unmoved by the wind because of the stone on it.
