Well done. I wonder how it finally worked out? Did she finally give in to him? You kept us on board throughout the story. Looking forward to your regular stuff. No spags.

I posted a chapter in Miranda yesterday. And a pharmacy tail the other day. Not sure if you saw those. Thank you for this awesome rating and the nice review. Gretchen
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very creepy story, but well written. Good work.
I think just a touch more at the end. Maybe a sneer, or a too hard of a pinch (pardon my French, but maybe bruising a nipple?) And then a creepy snicker.
Best wishes.

I like to leave the reader to their own conclusion. You did exactly that. You kept the story going. Thank you for this. Gretchen
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is creepy and frightening and I recently decided to check the crime rates for my town on line and there was a graph showing the different types of crimes and how they had increased. Guess which crime had increased the most? Stalking!
Yes, women were being talked in my town and the rate was increasing. I went on a dating site and met someone who lives in my town, he seemed okay, not bad looking and I saw him for 3 dates. Then I kept seeing him wherever I went, at the shops, with my friend for lunch, there he was outside the restaurant, in the park when I went for a walk! It all got a bit too much for me and I gradually let him down gently by cancelling dates, until he got the message. I was a bit afraid to drop him too hard as I thought it would bring me trouble. He has since met someone else thank goodness.
Once you get into the dating scene it can get complicated and I have given the whole search up now. A poignant write Gretchen, I was entertained, love Dolly x x x

Stalking is a very hard crime to prove as well. I would have gotten a little freaked if I was you. Dating is punishment at times. Lol. Glad you liked it. Gretchen
Comment from royowen
Oh yes, it is really creepy, I've had that experience of being in love with a girl who suddenly went cold on me, but I stopped calling quickly, there is no way you can warm up that which is gone cold in human terms, but I think God's hand was in that one.

Stalking just sounds like a whole lot of work to me. Lol. But it is a serious problem for some men and women. Thank you for this wonderful review. Gretchen

So I hear.
Comment from damommy
Definitely creepy!!!!! Will there be more? Does he kill her? I'd have a heart attack is someone was standing behind me like that. What kind of friends wouldn't be on her side?

Friends, especially work friends, don't always have your back. (Found that out the hard way). Stalker stories give me the heebie jeebies. Thank you so much for this. Gretchen

Thank goodness I've never had a stalker. That would be awfully scary!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Oh wow, yes, you definitely got creepy here. Gretchen! He just wouldn't go away and your story vividly conveys that escalating loss of patience, confidence and, ultimately, agency of the victim. Small details like her drinking habit and not bothering with the glass would have been funny if not so serious. There is one edit: "She knew they thought she (w)as being a bitch." An excellent story! Keep digging them out! Debbie x

Thanks for catching that. Just corrected it. Much appreciated. Thank you for the nice review. Gretchen
Comment from nancy_e_davis
I had one of those. He was persistent even after he knew Jim and I were serious. Not this bad but he would park across the street where I could see him every night for a while. His dad was police chief and he had a red convertible and he was handsome so I suppose he thought he was irresistible. Wrong! He gave up. I think Jim "talked" to him. LOL This was interesting. Well done Gretchen. Nancy:)

Lucky for you, Jim "talked" to him. I never had a stalker. Not even close. Had one guy try to give me the "ground rules" for being his girlfriend on our first date. Told him I didn't think I was the right applicant for the job. Lol. No second date followed. Thank you for this awesome rating and for sharing your experience. Gretchen

He was a creep.
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
This feels unresolved. Is there another part? I never had a stalker that I know of, but every man that I dated wanted me to marry them. Three of them came with rings after 1 week. So, I get clingy and fast. A lot of men seem to think that if the sex is good this is all that is required. Have you read "Remittance"?
It was a lune, and my very first lune. Karen

Comment from cat frenette
Creepy. Definitely creepy!
She should have called the cops a thousand messages sooner.
And used words that could not be misinterpreted.
Why are we women taught that all attention is good attention? That it's "romantic". And that if we feel something isn't right, something must be wrong with us because, "if my guy paid that kind of attention to me, I'd swoon!"
"He's crazy about you. He's in love. You're imagining it. You didn't exactly stop him. You didn't look like you wanted him to stop. You're being a bitch."
You're story struck home. I couldn't stop reading even though I knew how it would end up. You are a gifted story teller, and I hope this comes straight from an empathetic and curious mind, and not from personal experience.

Taught from an early age that men know best. Be thankful for his presence, the roof over your head. All because of him. Sickens me. I was taught to stand on my own two feet. Never depend on someone else. Definitely not personal experience. Although, I did know a woman who stalked a man. That might make an interesting story. Lol. Gretchen
Comment from Ric Myworld
I don't usually give up one of my few sixes on reposts, but there isn't any way I could possibly give this anything but a six. Outstanding writing, and I like the way you drug it out, reminding me of a twisting knife.
"Earth to Sasha, he (he's or is) a psycho.
There is no one who makes more boo boos than me, and I'm always thankful for those who point them out. But normally, I never bother with suggestions, knowing that the writer will soon catch it. However, you make so few mistakes that I couldn't let something so simple be in such a great post. Thanks for sharing.

Noo. I definitely appreciate when you show me a mistake. I post from my phone and the stupid keyboard is tiny. But, let's be honest, I'd make those mistakes if I posted from a regular computer. I think stalkers are some of the scariest mf's out there. They don't care about anything but the prize they are after. Shudder. Thank you. Gretchen

Yes, we all make plenty of mistakes; especially me. I like how our brains teach us to read right through them. Being a guy, most wouldn't suspect a stalker problem. But crazy, needy women who have become maniacs are the reason I keep to myself. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I know a woman who was borderline stalker to a man,who made it abundantly clear, he was not interested. She said "she knew in her heart they were made for each other. Now she talks about what a loser he is. Scary woman. It's okay to mingle just make sure your car is gassed and ready to go. Lol.
