Excerpt of Stalker:
Frowning, I walk toward the door and notice it’s been left open.
Outside are red drops scattered across the floor. I lean forward, so
I can scour the premise, and that’s when I notice the pool of blood
lying on the porch.
My eyes widen and I scream.
Stumbling backward inside the house, I slam the door shut with shaky
hands.
That blood, is it Arthur’s? What’s going on? Is he here?
Shit, I knew it.
I immediately reach for my umbrella stand and fish out the rifle
hidden behind all the umbrellas. I should’ve prepared more for this
day, but I didn’t think it would arrive so soon. I lock and load the
rifle, turning around quickly to surprise my attacker.
“Show yourself, you motherf**ker,” I scream. “I know it’s you.”
“Hello, Vanessa ….” His voice brings me chills to the bone. “Long
time, no see.”
“Get the f**k out of my house!” I yell, turning circles.
The voice is coming from everywhere, and I don’t know where he is. If
I move, I’m afraid he’ll catch me.
All I hear is vicious, uncontrollable laughter. “Did you miss me? No
need to be angry, I’m here now.”
“What do you want?” I scream.
“Oh … you know exactly
what I want.” The grim harshness in his voice makes me tremble. “I
told you that I’d come for you. Ready or not, here I come, Princess.”
“No! Stay away!” I scream, turning to the hallway. I could swear his
voice came from there.
But there’s nothing to be seen.
Nothing except the filthy boot prints on the wooden floor behind me,
leading into the hallway to the right.
I follow the trail into my living room, holding out my gun, ready to
shoot if I must.
But then the trail suddenly ends.
My lips part in confusion as I wonder where in the hell the dirt has
gone. I can’t find the boots anywhere. And then I realize what’s
going on.
Too late.
Something is pulled over my head, pulling me into the dark. A bag.
His hands twist and twist until I choke. The gun drops to the floor.
He’s suffocating me, and no matter how much I claw at the bag, it
won’t break.
The last thing I hear before I pass out is, “Playtime is over. You
can’t hide, Princess. Now you’re mine.”
Get Stalker now:
