Sake

WHO IS IT ?

It has been one week since I have been receiving these anonymous letters. Even things I thought weren't important were apparently important to the person who was writing all these. I have no idea who is behind this and why they would do this, but I know one thing, being stalked is no fun.

This person seems to know everything I do in my daily life, even what I watch, eat, read, literally everything. I know it is not because they like me because I know no dude who is that close to me. I am Andy, a 20 year old girl with a job as a cashier, living in a one bedroom apartment with no contact to the outside world other than my work place. Who would possibly want to date me? who would stalk someone like me? Moreover, there's literally no one that knows me in this world other than my family and my colleagues, so no chance of that being the case.

The crazy thing about this is that the letters I receive have an address on it, but each time it is a different one, so there seems to be no point in going out to look for this person and waste my precious day, well not really precious since I can't even shower without thinking about being stalked. Actually, I haven't showered for three days. I even got a letter this morning about how I looked when I was sleeping last night. It was so detailed that one might think they were next to me while I was asleep.

Well I thought about reporting this to the police before but was too lazy to do so and since I wanted to know how long this was going to go on (in case it was a prank by someone I know), I didn't go to the police station. But now, after receiving all those letters about me showering and sleeping, I don't think I can even relax in my bed.

"so, this stalking thing has been going on for a week now?" the officer who was apparently the only one there, asked me. "I think you need to show me those letters to make sure that you are not pulling a prank."

"Sorry, but I don't think I am comfortable enough to share those with you. As I said, there are even details from when I was taking a shower." I was definitely not going to show those letters to a stranger. I mean, they are the reason I am here in the first place.

"Then how am I supposed to believe that you are being stalked?" he let out a deep sigh."We have already had so many false accusations like this and we are not ready to take any more risks, our reputation is on the line." he said this right to my face.

Well I was not going to show it to anyone but since no one was believing me, I thought I was gonna have to reveal everything, but not to him. "Is there a female officer here? I can only show the letters to her." I put my head down since I knew what the answer was going to be.

"Do you see anyone here?" he looked real mad this time. He stood up and walked around the desk and approached me."if you are not going to show me the evidence, then I suggest you get your ass up and leave right now!" as soon as he said that, I stood up and walked out of the place as fast as I could. I mean I said I was not comfortable enough to share them with him and it is not my fault that there isn't a female officer here right now.

I thought the police could do something about it, but I guess not. I started walking down the path that lead to the nearest shop because my tank was full, I needed to pee. I started running halfway through as it almost spilt. I stood still in front of what seemed like a coffee shop, it was closed.

I started running again, in order to look for a shop or restaurant if any, but paused when I saw a small flower shop. I have never been to this area of the city before so I didn't know there were no shops here other than a  cafe and a flower shop that was barely visited. I had no other choice, I rushed in through the door and stood in front of the counter, in front of a tall guy, wearing a green shirt, a white hat and a black mask. I didn't have much time to look into the details and asked him if there was a toilet in the back. 

"To the right." he said pointing in the direction he was talking about. I rushed to the toilet and took a quick seat. That was heaven. I have never felt so good before. I looked around the surroundings after I finished my business. The place wasn't that bad actually. It had almost all kinds of flowers I had ever known, since I only knew a few. I thought I'd better buy something since I have already come inside and there seems to be no business here.

I looked around for some more time, but it was too awkward since me and the dude were the only ones there. I walked towards the counter in an attempt to talk to that dude. 

"Hello, hmm... do you have tulips here?" I asked. He didn't say anything. "Excuse me, do you have tulips here?" I asked again. 

"You look really............sleeping." he said something But since he had a mask on, I couldn't hear him clearly."You don't have to worry about anything since I am always watching over you." I heard it nice and clear this time. He was definitely the one who had been stalking me, I could feel it, the way he phrased it gave me the chills.

I didn't know how to respond. I grabbed his shirt in an attempt to hit him, but he grabbed my hand and smashed it against the counter and walked around it and stood real close to my face. I couldn't see the expression on his face but I could feel that he was grinning, I could hear him. I tried to push him to the ground but he was really tall and he didn't budge even a bit. I squeezed my way through his hands and somehow managed to move to the door and pushed it open and ran out. I screamed for help but there was no one there. Then the fact that the police station was near occurred to me. 

I started running towards the station. But before I could reach it, someone grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me, I knew it was him. I stretched my free hand and took off his mask but before I could get a glimpse of his face, I started feeling nauseous. 

The next thing I know, I woke up from my sleep. But, was it really just a dream?
