Lost In A Dream

The Park

Than all of a sudden at the end of the street there was a guy standing there, advertising something. We couldn't see exactly what it was but we both wanted to go find out. It's always nice to see someone trying to sell something, entrepreneur's are very hard working people so we wanted to see what he had. As we got closer to him he saw us and talked to us.

"Howdy you two! Thank god someone finally noticed me, haha! My name is Jim. I work for a company that sends couples away for a nice getaway vacation. You two look like you could definitely use a nice vacation, what do you say?"

This guy seemed very nice, but I already knew this was really sketchy. Like I said I like helping out people who sell things, but something like this is just sketchy. The guy looked like he was about maybe in his late 20's, or early 30's and me and Stacey were only 18. I looked at her in confusion, not knowing what to say, and than looked back at Jim.

"Man that's very cool and nice of you to offer us a getaway vacation! Unfortunately we aren't in a good financial state right now, so will have to decline. Sorry Jim..." I said with a cautious voice.

"Eh, it's whatever. I understand..." Jim said with a very strange voice.

Well ok, this guy seems a little crazy I thought to myself. It's time Stacey and I go home anyways. I looked at Stacey, and than back at Jim, and said...

"Thanks for your time sir! My girlfriend and I must get going now, but best of luck to you and your advertising." I said with a nice tone.

"Alright, you two take care now. Life is short, especially if you have a shitty fucking life like me..." he said angrily.

The look he had on his face when he said that, seemed very bizarre. Like I said I already knew this guy was sketchy, but after he said those words I got goosebumps. Why did Jim say that? Seemed like he had some problems, so I wanted to leave as fast as I could.

"Alright, well bye bye now Jim."

"Yes, have a nice day Jim!" Stacey said.

He was silent, and he just watched us as we walked away. Even after about 3 minutes of walking away from him I turned around, and he had his eyes on me still. I have good vision, so I could see his eyeballs pointing right at me. I just felt very uncomfortable and I wanted to leave.

"Stacey, sweetheart. Could we please leave now"

"Already Drew? Well if you insist."

Thank god! I thought in my head, now I didn't want to be a sissy and say "I'm scared of Jim, so let's go home." So I didn't say that, I'm glad she didn't question me either, so we went back to the blanket. When we got there though all of our stuff was gone. Stacey's phone was gone, some food was gone, and even some cute notes Stacey made me for my birthday was gone.

"What the hell! Who stole our stuff?" I said angrily!

Stacey was in shock because her new iPhone 7 was just gone now. "Wow I'm stupid for leaving that here, but no one sketchy was even over here! So what the fuck!"

Than we looked at each other and both looked back at Jim...he was gone by now. We looked around the whole park, and didn't even see him. He was a pretty big built guy. Muscular and a little chubby, plus very tall so it was easy to see him, but he was no were in sight.

I swear if Jim the creep stole our stuff I'm going to kick his ass if we find him. I thought to myself with my enraged thoughts. I told Stacey how I felt like someone was watching us earlier, but she didn't believe me. Hell she didn't even think he stole are stuff.

"Drew calm down, how could he have stole our stuff if he was on the corner of the street and are blanket is in the middle of the park? Just calm down, someone else had to do it." She said with a calm voice.

No I know Jim stole our stuff because like I said I felt like I was being watched so if he was watching us he would've came over to the blanket when we left, took our stuff and than went to the corner because he knew we would come back around the park! I was almost certain that's what happened. Stacey just rolled her eyes, but she admitted it was a good theory.

"Well let's get in the car and drive around the park and the neighborhood. Maybe will see the person who took our stuff." Stacey said.

Not a bad idea, I thought to myself. Alright let's do that. We headed back over to the car, but there was a note on the car door. The note read...

"Don't be stupid next time, or maybe I'll keep your belongings."

The note didn't have a name attached to it. I was so confused right now and Stacey was very confused as well. We than get in the car, and we see all of our stuff was in the back seat. Ok this is very weird, what the hell is going on. Stacey and I both agreed this was strange, and we should go somewhere else. Not home though, because we felt like someone was definitely watching us now.
