Am I Just Being Paranoid?
A strange thing happened Saturday night on my way to Ann’s. I drove across the bridge and got on 80 as normal, and started to exit when I noticed a car right behind me. I made a fast approach and stop at the end of the exit. The car tried pulling up next to me and I could see it was an old caddie with no front bumper. I had a strange feeling I should hurry on, though, and zoomed on as he was trying to pull up next to me.
Normally this would be the end of it, but when I pulled onto the side street leading to Ann’s, the car was right behind me, still right on my tail. I decided to not pull onto Ann’s street at that point, and proceded to continue on along a zigzag pattern through the back streets. The car followed me even after a ridicuous amout of turns. The person was plainly following me.
“WTF,” I thought. I lost him when I made a left turn on a busy street with oncoming traffic in both directions, wandered the long way back to Ann’s and parked. Disturbingly after getting to Ann’s I heard the car coming (the stereo was booming ever since the exit) and hid in the bushes. Either they didn’t recognize my parked car or they didn’t notice and were off somewhere else. Ann opened the door and let me in.
So am I being paranoid? I’m rather hoping the person was just out to raz me and didn’t have any other reason for following me so far. It was still disturbing, and reminded me of my Dad’s “James Bond mission” back in high school and the warnings we’d gotten then. I am hoping I never have a follow up to this entry…
