I thought he had gone away. I really did. I had left him in the past with the bad dreams and girl drama of high school. But just when i thought i had eluded him for good, outsmarted him, i turn around and come face to face with him again. I stand there frozen. In fear, awe, uncertainty? Maybe all three. He moves slowly like someone taming a wild animal taking only the smallest movements. He comes up behind me and brushes his razer blade nails against my side. My breathing quickens. And he smiles. "Shhh." he whispers gently in my ear. I tremble. He tricked me again.
