I was on my way out of the1
washroom for the second time.2
I passed by a man,3
that was drenched by the rain.4
He looked like a quiet man.5
As I walked past him,6
I could feel his eyes burning7
a hole right through me.8
I could feel the hair9
on the back of my neck10
standing up.11
I turned around to see if he12
was still staring at me.13
To my surprise,14
he vanished.15
Just as quick as I spotted him,16
he was gone.17
I walked up to the counter,18
payed the store clerk19
what I owed him for the gas20
and headed for the door.21
Store Clerk: "Would that be all miss?"22
I turned around, walked back23
to the counter and24
grabbed a couple of25
chocolate bars for the road.26
Me: "I'll take these too, please."27
My hands were shaking,28
as I placed the chocolats bars29
on the counter.30
Store Clerk: "Are you okay miss?"31
Me: "I'm not used to being on32
a dark highway by myself33
in a storm."34
Store Clerk: "We have a room in35
the back, if you want to36
stay for the night."37
Me: "No, that's okay, I have a38
babysitter taking care of39
my kids and she's40
probably wondering41
where I am."42
