I am your worst nightmare.

I know others claim to be, but they're wrong.

When you realize I'm out there, your knees go weak.

You see my name, your mouth goes dry.

You see a shadow, you know it's me. You know I'm there. Your heart races.

You walk down the street after a long day at work. It's very cold out, and everyone has already retired to their warm houses, snuggled up by loved ones.

But not you.

Now, you regret volunteering for overtime.

You know I'm walking behind you, just far enough so I can see you, but not vice versa.

I have been planning, waiting, observing.

You cross the street in a feeble attempt to escape me.

That won't work, and deep down inside, you know that too.
