Stop Me If You've Heard This Before


            Stop me if you’ve heard this before.
            There’s someone after me. I don’t know who it is, or why they want me so badly, but they have been chasing me for days. They got my family last week, my friends before that, and I’m not the first person they’ve done this to. I stopped here because my car ran out of gas, and I was hoping I could spend a few hours here to rest. Do you have an extra room, or even a closet, that I could sleep in? I can’t remember the last time I got some good sleep. They’ve been trying to track me down for a while, now. I thought they were gone, I thought I had lost them, but no. No, they know me. They know who I am, they know where I lived up until Monday (I can’t live there anymore), and they have been on my trail since then. I’m not even sure where I am right now, where is this?
            Wait, don’t tell me. It’s probably better that I don’t know. If I don’t know, it’s less likely that they’ll know I’m here. If I know where I am, I can be influenced in which direction I take, and they can pick up on that. God, how long have they been watching me?! Alex tried to warn me, why didn’t I listen? I should have. Things would be different. The world lost a good person in Alex, and they will feel that loss soon enough, I just need some ground! Why didn’t I listen to you, Alex? They’ll pay, I promise they’ll pay. But I’ve fucked up so bad.
            The shit of it is, you don’t even know who they are, either. Probably don’t care, either, I’m sorry for babbling like this, I must sound crazy. I’m not crazy, I’m just in deep shit right now. Really deep, deep shit. I just need your help, please. Just one night. Even a few hours would be great, I’m so tired of running.
            You haven’t heard that? No crazy guy spewing something like that came around here recently? Ok, thank you for your time, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
            He’s not here, boys, let’s move out!
