         I was walking home, alone. When you have school, then a job afterwards, it's hard to get some rest. There's studying and everything in between. I kept walking down the dirty sidewalk. I wish they would have a community clean-up. While i'm examining the sidewalk I noticed a car slow down behind me. Normally I would just ignore it, but this person had their lights off. I began to walk faster. And before I know it I start to run and run. Like my life depended on it, well actually, IT DID!

        I took different road ways leading the person away from my house. I finally lost the car. I caught the bus back home. I went straight to my room and plopped down on my bed. I was exhausted! That was waay more exercise than I needed. I proceeded to undressing. I just threw my dirty clothes on the floor and went into the shower. I started to analyze what happened about 15 minutes ago.

        I tried to make out the color of the car, but I couldn't. It had to be a dark-shade of something because I couldn't see it. I definitely couldn't figure out who was in the car. I shrugged it off and just continued to wash. After I was done, I put my bed clothes on and went into the kitchen. I was hungry. I examined my almost empty fridge. I needed to go shopping. I grabbed out the turkey lunch meat and the mustard when my doorbell rang.

        I put the things on the counter and made my way to the door. I then recalled all the events that went on tonight and I got a butcher's knife from out of the kitchen real quick and opened the door. There wasn't anyone outside. I checked for any cars, and there was only the one across the street in a drive-way. I was about to close the door when something on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and it read: To: My Beloved Althea; From: Your Secret Admirer
