you had never felt so paranoid beforeâso much you didnât seem to be enjoying life anymore. you viewed everyone as people intending to harm you, when walking home, you always shot looks behind to make sure no one was following you home, every time you heard a noise remotely close to a camera shutter, you would feel your heart hammering.Â
somehow, you also felt ashamed and stupid for being so naive. the man you had been talking to online, sharing bits of your life with turned out to be a creepy stalker with ill intentions. you started questioning everything he ever told you and everything you had figured about him. was he truly someone of your age? you simply couldnât imagine a young man being such a creep, they were always old men in movies.
you always thought this stuff only happened in movies too. it made you sick to think it had happened to you of all people, what were the odds? had this stranger purposefully emailed you to get in touch? how did he get your email? or your address? there were so many questions.Â
you did mention your work to him multiple times, and now you were scared he might come by someday and terrorize you. so much that you had begun suspecting every old men who stepped in the shop. it could be anyone.
âhey?â your co-worker Bobby snapped at you, you jumped in surprise, âyou okay?â he asked.
you frowned, wondering when he started caring about your mindset, âiâm okay, just a lack of sleep.âÂ
âwhat can possibly keep you up at night? watching sailor moon while making pink glittery bracelets for your best friends?â he mocked you.
âis that really how you view me?â you frowned and finally looked at him fidgeting with a wooden beads bracelet he wore every day.
âthatâs the image youâve always gave me,â he explained while motioning between you and him.Â
âwell youâre wrong,â you rolled your eyes and turned back towards the counter.
the door to the shop opened, a man in his forties with long grey and white hair and a beard stepped in the shop, you smiled at him before your eyes shifted down his shirt, your heart skipped a beat when you recognized the star wars logo with a parodic quote written under.
it could just be a coincidence, everyone loves star wars, is what you told yourself before trying to play it cool.Â
âgood evening, what can we do for you?â you asked with a smile.Â
âhi, i called earlier about a camera i wanted to buy from you,â he said.Â
an old star wars man with a camera obsession, this could not just be a coincidence.Â
âoh, youâre indiana, right?â Bobby stepped in the conversation, apparently, he had been the one to have him on the phone.
âthatâs right,â he laughed, a sound that you despised.Â
âyeah, we kept it aside for you mate,â Bobby grabbed a cardboard box from underneath the counter before setting it on top of it, âyour nameâs indiana? for real?â he asked with an amused chuckle.
âno, itâs just something my friends call me because iâm a huge fan of indiana jones,â he explained before taking the camera out of the cardboard box to take a better look at it.Â
you watched their interaction from afar, your blood running cold. Yoda loved both indiana jones and star wars as well, âno way, i love indiana jones too,â chuckled Bobby.
âyouâre a fan of both indiana jones and star wars?â you stepped in the conversation, they both turned to you, staring.
âyes⊠i mean i believe itâs quite obvious,â he showed his shirt off with a giggle, you awkwardly smiled.
âwoah, great,â you held your thumbs up.Â
you tried telling yourself it was just a coincidence as well. everyone loved both indiana jones and star wars. i mean, harrison ford! your co-worker glanced at you with a frown as he whispered, âwhat the fuck is up with you?â
you brushed it off and walked away towards one of the shelves to rearrange it while Bobby took care of the client, you heard them saying goodbye to each other before you heard the door to the shop open, you looked at the reflection in the window and suddenly met his eyes. your heart skipped a beat as a soft gasp escaped your lips before you turned to properly look at him, but it was too late, he was gone.
âwill you please restock the kodak shelves instead of acting like a freak in front of the clients?â exclaimed Bobby.
âyes, sorry,â you said uncomfortably before moving around the room towards the back of the shop, almost tripping on your way there.
you got off work earlier than Bobby that day, he was in charge of closing the shop. you said goodbye to him, he barely acknowledged you so you cussed him out under your breath before grabbing your bag and leaving. this time, you didnât bother putting your headphones on and listening to music like you usually did, this was a habit you stopped picking up ever since finding out you had a stalker.Â
you walked down the street, passing by all the other shops and corporate buildings. you stopped in front of one of the crosswalk, waiting for the light to turn green. you saw someone stand beside you from the corner of your eyes, you slowly turned and your heart flipped.
there stood the client from earlier, the cardboard box under his arm as he looked at the light, waiting for it to turn green as well. your eyes widened in pure horror as you felt your palm getting sweaty, almost slipping from your bagâs straps. he felt heavy eyes on him and turned, his eyes widened in surprise.
âyou again,â he said enthusiastically.
âyeah,â you responded with nothing but discomfort in your voice.Â
then the light turned green, you were the first to step on the crosswalk, moving faster than he was, keeping your head lowered. you bumped into many people trying to make your way through the crowd, not looking back. the one time you did, he was still there, following and staring at you. you gasped and walked even faster before turning to another busy street and turning again to see if he was still there, and he was.
you had enough.
you stopped in your track, took a deep breath before turning at once and starting to scream across the street, âstop following me you creep!â you shouted at him, everyone turned to stare at you, the man stood frozen in front of you with raised eyebrows and a flabbergasted air on his face, as though he didnât know full well why you screamed at him this way.
âwhat?â he said softly.
âdonât act innocent now! do you think itâs okay to email young girls on the internet then filming them changing and harassing them at their job?âÂ
gasps echoed through the crowd, you held onto your keys hard before he started pleading his case, you shook your head and ran back to the shop, ignoring the dozens of people staring at you. you started having a full on panic attack on your way there before you slammed the shopâs door open and closed it behind you.
Bobby turned, startled before frowning at the sight of you, âwhat the fuck are you doing here?â he asked.
âthereâs a man out there, following me, the client from earlier,â you said breathless before walking towards him and trying to regulate your breathing.
âwhat? who?â he frowned and approached closer trying to get a grasp of whatever was going on, âthe guy who bought the nikon camera?â
âno, the other one,â you said, holding onto your chest, feeling your heart pounding hard.
âindiana?â he asked and you nodded before trying to explain.
âit was just emails at first! he was so nice and i thought he was someone my age but then one day i came home and received a video tape of myself changing and he said it was him, andââÂ
âhey, calm down. itâs okay. breathe,â he reassured you and held your shoulders tight.
âhe was just following me down the street⊠i donât wanna go back there,â you started sobbing.Â
âthatâs fine. you donât have to. do you need me to drop you off?â he asked, such kindness felt unusual coming from him, you almost didnât believe this was real.
âwhat?â your eyebrows drew together as you wiped your tears away, âyouâd do that?â
âif that makes you feel safe, just give me five minutes.â
âbut the shop doesnât close until 7PM,â you said as you watched him starting to gather his stuff.Â
âEd doesnât need to know about it.â
ten minutes later, the shop was closed and you found yourself in Bobbyâs car, a 1984 Ford F-150, it was somehow the exact car you pictured him driving. you gave him your address and he drove you there, he parked right in front of your house not even fifteen minutes later, he turned the engine off and you sat there awkwardly, holding tightly onto your bag.Â
you look at the rearview mirror, he noticed it, âhe canât get you here,â he assured.
âhe knows where i live. he has videos of me changing in my room.âÂ
âhow did he even get your address?â frowned Bobby.
âiâve been trying to figure it out as well,â you told him as your jaw tightened out of nervousness.
âyou have to talk to the police,â he said while tapping against the steering wheel.
âi canât. iâm too scared. my parents would kill me if they found out i even talked to a stranger online for so long,â you looked out the window while anxiously fidgeting with your fingers.Â
âso youâre gonna let him harass you?â asked Bobby.Â
âiâll be alright,â you assured before grabbing your bag and opening the car door, âthanks for dropping me off.â
you didnât give him time to respond and closed the door behind you before disappearing into your house, your parents immediately called for you, âhey honey! dinnerâs ready!â you heard your momâs voice across the hallway.Â
âiâm not hungry,â you said firmly before hurrying upstairs.
you stepped in your room, locked your door and immediately closed your curtains before hiding beneath your bed sheets and staying there until sleep came to take you away.
the next couple of days had been rough, all you ever did at work was eye towards the door and resenting the moment youâd see him walk in again, because you knew it was inevitable. Ed would sometimes stand there and stare at you, wondering what was wrong. he tried to ask Bobby if he knew anything, but he swore he didnât. which was a lie.Â
you tried to wonder if all of this had been under different circumstancesâwould the feeling be different? if it had been a young guy like you, would you find it hot and sexy instead of disgusting and humiliating? you were ready to pretend it was the case just to ease up the terrible feeling.Â
the door to the shop suddenly opened, you heard the familiar bell ring, it startled you and you turned only to find Bobby coming back from his smoking break. a wave of relief flickered across your body, you went back to counting the money in the cash register before feeling him approaching you.
âyou alright?â he asked, concerned.
âyeah,â you tried to put on a smile, but Bobby could read it in your eyesâhow you had not properly slept in days.Â
he gazed at Ed from the corner of his eyes before whispering, âhe worries about you. and i feel like i canât be the one to tell him what happened the other day.âÂ
âEd canât know,â you shook your head and put another band of money into the cash register, âyou know how he is. heâll worry to death and think he has to do something about it. i donât want to be a burden.â
âyouâre not,â he assured you.Â
âBobby please,â you begged him and finally looked at him, âiâll be alright.âÂ
you couldnât believe in your own words, it was as though you were still trying to convince yourself.Â
âbut thank you for dropping me off the other day.âÂ
âno problem,â was all he said with a nod and pressed lips before turning away when he realized you werenât particularly open to any kinds of conversation at the moment.Â
you got off work at 7PM that day and went back home, it became a ritual to always look back to make sure you werenât being followed. you hated itâthis constant feeling of being watched and unsafe.Â
you reached for your mail box as soon as you arrived in front of your house, you opened it and found another FedEx package, you frowned and grabbed it, not really checking who it was destined toâyour parents might have ordered something online.Â
you went inside and closed the door behind you, you ripped the package open to find another VHS tape inside. your heart raced, your jaw tightened and you swore you could scream.Â
not again, was all you could think of.Â
âhoney! come on! i made mashed potatoes, just how you like them,â said your mother.
you immediately shoved the tape into your bag, âcoming!â you tried to cover up the concern and pure terror in your voice.Â
you hurried towards the dining room and helped your parents set the table before eating quietly. your parents noticed how zoned out you were, but they didnât question it, thinking you were probably just tired from work. yet all you could think about was what the hell could be on that tape this time?
you made sure to always close your curtains, you always looked around the streets to make sure no one was there to follow you or take pictures.Â
you went to your room as soon as your mother allowed you to go, you grabbed your bag along the way and ran up the stairs before locking yourself in your room.
you grabbed the tape from your bag then the VHS player you had left in a corner of your bedroom. you plugged it into your computer and sat on your chair, you imagined the worse while looking at the tape. you flipped it and noticed a handwritten note stuck on it.
i am no old man
your lips trembled before you finally set the tape into the playerâwould it be a video of him showing his face? you genuinely had no idea what to expect.
the video played, it was oddly filmed, but if you could describe it bestâthere was a desk in the very middle of it with a big mirror standing behind, on top of the desk was a computer that played a familiar video, someone was filming everything. but you could tell it trembled from holding it with one hand.
then the camera panned down.Â
Oh.
Oh.
your mouth fell agape when you saw him holding his cock firmly around his hand, despite the poor quality, you could catch a glimpse of the veins and his glistening pink tip. your eyes widened in pure surprise and shock, a faint chuckle escaped your lips, you didnât know if it was out of pure amusement or nervousness.Â
the camera panned up again to film into the mirror, that computer still played that same video, you could see his reflection better, yet his face was still cut out. but from what you could see, he was not an old man. he had abs, muscular arms of a moderate size, probably the size of your thigh. you unconsciously stared at his happy trail while his moans and whimpers began filling your room, you immediately lowered your volume.
he was moaning your name, you brought your hands to your mouth before you finally realized what was playing on his computer.
it was that video of you changing.Â
he was masturbating to you.Â
âwhat the fuck,â you whispered to yourself, still in pure astonishment. you didnât know whether you liked it or hated it, but the feeling was different.Â
you liked what you seeâhow he looked physically. you only saw men looking so fit and muscular in magazines, and youâd never thought someone looking that good would ever lust over you.Â
âyou wanna watch me cum for you? wanna see how much i wanna fuck you? youâre so pretty baby,â he said, something awoke within you as soon as the words left his mouth in a soft whimper.
his camera panned back down, showing his hand stroking his hard and throbbing cock harder and faster, his moans becoming uncontrollable, his voice sounded like heaven to you. you noticed his wooden bracelet bouncing back and forth every stroke.Â
then he came all over his hand, a loud whimper echoed, as though he had just relieved something painful. you blinked at the video before pausing it and immediately closing the window and taking the tape out of the player. you tried looking for the first tape as well before throwing them into an old shoe box and hiding it in your closet, hoping no one would ever find them.Â
you fell back onto your bed with a heavy sigh, trying to process what you had just witnessed. you still could see it, every frame of that video engraved in your brain. you hated yourself for slightly enjoying what you had seen. you thought maybe you were crazy for romanticizing such a situation.Â
but you couldnât help itâand now that you knew you had been wrong about who it couldâve been all along, your only goal was to find out who truly was sending those obscene videos.
