He had often walked down this street before. He’d watch from behind a lilac tree hoping any that second she’d suddenly appear. He had an overpowering feeling, knowing that somehow she was near. There was nowhere else he’d rather be than the street where she lived.
People watched and stared, but it didn’t bother bother him. It bothered her though. She could no longer let the time go by.
Constable Clutch grabbed him by the arm. “Let go officer”, he said.
“No, Zee Parker. You are under arrest for violation of the Stalking and Harassment Act 1997, anything you say…”

I like this very much, Keith. An insight into an obsessive personality
Indeed, but a bit different from the character that inspired my tale! Thanks, Neil.
Oops! That is not good 😅
Very true, Sadje!
🙁
I don’t usually read any before writing but I am glad I did because I was going down the same road! Time to rewrite 😉
Oh dear, sorry about that – I feel guilty now!
No, don’t! I wasn’t sure about it anyway as it was kind of “date like” and I did that last week! You just gave me the nudge to get more creative 😉
That’s all right then!!!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Well, you know I was singing this one all the way through! What fun!
Why doesn’t that surprise me? 😊
I am always impressed with the depth of your stories to these (to me) challenging photo prompts. Well done Keith.
What a lovely thing to say, thank you Suzette.
You are very welcome, Keith!
I thought for a second that the constable was her and that he would be in bliss 🙂 I’m glad someone interrupted that trajectory.
That would have been intersting!
Dear Keith,
My mind didn’t go to Freddy Einsford-Hill. Not I. Not much. 😉
This guy better mind where he walks. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Haha, Freddy Einsford-Hill, what a character that was!
Great write Keith love the songs implanted in there 🙌
Thanks, Ange, I thought it would make a change!
When does persistent cross the line to harassment? Excellent story.
That is the question!
crossing that line –
It looks that way!
Great story, Kieth.
Thanks so much
I cannot find it in my heart to feel sorry for him….
I did at first, than I didn’t!
Wonderfully awful as always, my fair gentleman
That’s awfully kind of you, sir.
Oops indeed!
Very! Thanks, Chris.
I think stalking is a mental condition that can be cured by immersion in freezing water, permanently.
You could well be right!
I thought of the song right away. Love that! Entertaining tale as always, Keith, though a little creepy. 🙂
I’m not a surprised she was feeling a bit creepy.
An unusual take on the prompt, Neil.
