Trouble in the shadows

We got everything ready to leave for next year. We were unaware of the person standing in the darkness and watching us at my house. They pulled out a cigarette and placed it to their lips as they lit it. They took a drag from it as they watched us.

Before someone saw the person, they moved to Frazier’s house. The person watched everything going on inside from the shadows. The person took another drag from the cigarette, causing the end of it to turn a bright orange color.

After a few minutes, the person made their way to Jordan’s house and stood in the shadows, leaning against a tree. They finished their smoke before tossing it down and crushing it out with their shoe.

None of us were aware of is that this person had been watching us all year long. They studied us, took pictures, and did their research. We weren’t some fantasies they developed in their head; now, we had become targets.
