The Other Woman

I stepped off the train and looked to my right, then to my left. I was hoping to see someone I recognized. As I looked around I noticed no one, I suddenly felt alone. More alone than I ever had felt before.

I stepped off the train and had decided to go right, as I opened my umbrella to shield me from the pouring rain, I noticed my reflection in the oversized window of the train station. I saw nothing.

I walk parallel with the train until it pulls away on its track. At that moment the raging wind took control of my umbrella, turning it upside down, and inside out. My hat was not any better of a back up as it flew away, into the wind.

A man, who seemed to be in a hurry carrying a briefcase, asked if i needed help and he fixed as best he could my umbrella. He had got there too late to know about my lost hat, so I just thanked him. As he walked away a piece of paper fell out of his jacket pocket. The stream the rain had made in the cracks of the pavement had led the paper back to me.

I picked up the small, folded piece of paper and looked up toward the direction the man had been going, but he had disappeared into the busy crowd. I figured maybe there was important information on this piece of paper so I unfolded it and read what I did not expect to read at all.

The folded piece of paper read;

If you want to see her alive,
you know what to do.

I was scared and shocked. I did not know what to do. At this moment I decided that my vacation was turning into reality. I had just left reality to find peace but here I was again and it was scary!
