“Don’t you worry honey, there's no one stalking you. It’s all
in your head. Now, you get some nice sleep and I shall meet you in your dreams”.
His voice made her smile with relief. “Ever since I met you,
my stalking troubles have finally come to an end. Whoever it was has finally
given up on me to find a new prey. I used to get these horrible phone calls and
letters. You are the only one I have had the courage to confide this horrible secret.
It’s like you understand me better than anyone else...”
“There there, I’m the lucky guy here. I would have never
imagined I would end up in the life of a famous model such as you. We must
thank the stalker for bringing us together honey. Without his intervention, you
would never have gotten into my car, asking for my help. Remember the day we met?”
“Yes, how could I forget? I dare not imagine what would have
happened to me if you hadn’t safely dropped me off at my house", she laughed feebly."Goodnight Jack.
See you in my dreams”.
“You betcha, my angel”.
As Jack (the ripper) placed the phone down, he stared right
into the eyes of his next prey. The giant painting magnified her beauty to a remarkable level. An evil grin lit his face to many shades.
“Tonight you will be
mine and forever be a dream in many men’s lives, my beautiful angel...”
He took out the knife from his bowler hat and slashed it across her painting. A maniacal laugh
reverberated around the empty room.
