The Man In The Window

  I sat there too scared to move. Looking at me were a pair of eyes. It was after midnight and I was watching TV laying on the couch. I had the shades up a little and happened to look over at the window and there he was looking at me.

     I did not move but when he saw me looking at him he disappeared. I did not call the police or anything, what was the use he was gone.

    A couple of days nights later I was awaken by a scream. I could not tell where it had come from. I sat up and listened but did'nt hear it anymore. After awhile I went back to sleep.

   The next day the police were walking through the neighborhood asking people if they had heard anything the night before. I said I had heard a woman scream about 1:00 in the morning, but I did not know from where. They told me that a woman had been raped and murdered a couple of streets over.

    Later all I could think about was could it have been the man in the window. I swear to this day I could pick those eyes out in a line up scared me so bad!
