Are you sure you're alone?
Is that the sound of footsteps behind you?
Have you felt you are being watched?

Murders, robberies, stalkers. These things happen every day and any of us may be a victim at any time.

The Caller

For over twenty years Cassie had peace. She changed her life, her identity and was truly happy.
 
Until one day, when she was working from home, away from the noise of her office, the phone rang.
 
"Cassie speaking"
 
There was a pause, she repeated herself but still no reply. Then a click.
 
Putting it down to a wrong number or children mucking around, she went back to her work. This happened three times in the next 24 hours and then that long forgotten uneasy feeling swept over her.
"No! not after all these years, it couldn't be?"
