I'd been scared of other stalkers.

Careful too.

I always looked in the back seat

Before I got into my car.

Daddy made sure I walked

With my keys in-between each finger.

Stalkers had tormented since school.

Most of them were innocent-obsessive.

Daddy scared them off.

But I knew he wasn't scared

When I read his reply to a note

Daddy left on his car.

A single word.

No.

I sensed something really bad;

More so than when I received the gutted fish.

Reading his defiance in one word.

Felt insanely bold.

Yeah, I knew then this time it was different.

But no one else believed;

And I didn't know what to do

But go along with their way of thinking.

They never thought.

In the windmills of your mind'
