'Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.' A short horror story that places you directly in the victim's shoes. You're forced to face the forgotten fear that is being totally alone. A college-aged waitress is left alone in the diner at closing time, and she is oblivious to the very real danger that she is in simply because she is alone.
