Self Terror

Terrorized by self Out of control thoughts Hypervigilant Angry suspicions Worked into frenzy No evidence Only feelings Terrorized by Silent stalker Text message Cowardly Evil mind Accused Without Proof

oh, this is the plot of so many of those shows on ID. Maybe you watch a lot of those true crimes on stalkers like I do? Very well done in this tight form!

Actually, this is reality unfolding in the mind of a friend who is currently being terrorized by an unknown text person.

Oooh, a bit of paranoia in the beginning, but perhaps the stalker is real. Like the way you build suspense, Caren. Reminds me of a Paul Simon song lyric: "Just because you're paranoid don't mean there's not someone out to get you!" Hugs, Carolyn

It is happening to a friend, and I said to her "I can see that you fear is real," however, unfortunately, she has no idea who is the culprit.
