Cyber Security | A Short Story

𝓟𝓪𝓻𝓽 𝓕𝓲𝓿𝓮

Again!? My phone was once again riddled with viruses. This time it was different, my fear has reached its maximum. Pictures of me were being sent one-by-one. I didn't know what to do; I stood there frozen looking at my phone in horror non-stop sending of photos every move that I made.

"A stalker?" I thought to myself, and if it was the truth then this stalker is seriously the worst of stalkers I've ever encountered. Knowing you have a stalker is creepy enough, but someone who can access your phone and even reveal your personal information is outright nightmare...

I finally mustered the courage to finally move and took the phone. Looking at it, I analyzed the picture and realized that the photographer was near.

A transparent door made of glass, that I had no doubt, was from the balcony.

RIGHT BEHIND ME

Taking the phone was really hard, but now looking back was like facing hell itself. I slowly turned around to look who was there, and as I did I slow the figure of a hooded-man standing on my balcony. The moment I saw him, he suddenly opened the glass door and assaulted me, carrying a knife on his hand. I was pushed to my bed; I grasped his wrist trying to protect myself. I felt relieved when I heard the sound of my parents trying to open the door. It was now a life and death scenario, as I held on to dear life pushing him back with all the strength I could muster. He fell on the floor and I quickly stood up as I saw a number of photos on the floor that was of me, of my daily movements.

"Sam?" I asked, thinking it couldn't have been anyone but Sam who has always been there beside me. Though I still haven't seen who was under the hood I quickly passed my judge that it was absolutely Sam under the hood. He looked at the door and hearing my parents he quickly escaped through the balcony and I tried to pursue him but it was too late. My parents soon arrive only to find a room that was totally destroyed as if it was battlefield.
