A true scary story

He could be an underwear stealer. My roommate and I do not think he has ever come into the house though. There are not any signs at least, like sticky seamen footprints stamped across our wood floors. We do not walk into our house, throw our keys on the coffee table and announce, “Smells like stalker in here.” But there is no way to be sure.

What we do know — some man has been creeping around our house late at night. A couple lives in our backyard in the guesthouse. Supposedly, he sneaks in and out of the gate by their front door. They say they have never heard him. They say even the dog does not always hear him. It makes me wonder, not if, but how many times we have not heard him.

My roommate has seen him, as much as the dark space between two houses will allow, scampering away twice.

“He has broad shoulders, and is as tall as that guy over there. Maybe he was wearing a baseball cap.”

We have nothing. There is no description. She stated to the cops that no, she would not be able

1. A much too common problem.

In the immediate area of my last apartment the police were investigating three different serial rapists.

You can't let fear run your life though. She should take self defense courses, devise an emergency escape plan, maybe see if her landlord will let her keep a dog that will yap at strangers. Anything she can do to take more control over the situation will help her feel better.
