I'm walking alone in the outskirts of New York. I don't exactly know where I am, all I know is that I don't wanna be around anyone tonight. I need some fresh air after a month of stress.

It was already dark and I'm literally the only one walking down the street. I kept my head down all the time, but when I looked up, I saw a silhouette of a man straight ahead. Of course, I'm alarmed. For all I know he might be a rapist or serial killer. But again, he might be just a random man chilling on the streets. Nevertheless, I walked past him. He never said a word, but his eyes are following my movements.

The next day, I saw news about a rape victim. When I looked at the guy responsible, I almost choked on my coffee. It's the same guy last night and the location of the crime is on the same street! Intrigued by this, I decided to confront the guy. I went to the jail where he is locked up.

He was let out and he sat on the chair in front of me. He kept a steady glare on me, but I don't give a fuck.

"Why did you not rape me instead? I was there in front of you, completely alone and vulnerable." he scoffed at this and looked at me with an amused look on his eyes.

"Are you fucking serious? I'm not stupid enough to pick a victim with a dozen of people trailing behind her."
