Two years ago, a female friend told me about another female friend who was so infatuated with some guy that she actually stalked him. She would shadow him, hide in the bushes, jump into a taxi when he drives away. She was totally crazy about him that all the shit she did deserved at least one Judd Apatow movie. The funny thing is that that female friend isn’t your typical crazy — she taught English in some prestigious school, well-educated, not totally a loser. But she was doing this, and I thought, what the outrageous fuck was that? The result is the story “Blind Spot.” This won Second Prize at the prestigious Free Press Literary Awards.
