#fear

Somehow, you’re late today. You jump into one of those late night taxis, and when you get to the boda stage, they have all gone to sleep because it rained very heavily earlier.

You live about 15 minutes from here, and the wisest thing you can do is ensure that you are in your house, anti the Kifeesi crew have been dropping their anonymous, ominous letters in the area.

Meanwhile, there is a serious electricity blackout --- actually, you noticed it from the time you hit the highway, which means, it is pitch dark.
 

So you hit the road, hoping against all hope that you do not meet a single living thing, be it a cat (apart from the plants of course).
 

You’re wearing soft-soled shoes, so, apart from the lone yelp from a stray dog, the night is quiet.
 

Suddenly you hear a sound.
 

You cannot tell whether its coming from behind or in the direction you’re going.
 

You stop.
 

The sound again.
 

Footsteps.
 

Walking.
 

Unmistakable.
 

A human being.
 

You look wildly around you but cannot see a thing.
 

And you still can’t tell where they’re coming from but they are drawing closer. 

?????????????

Would you rather they are coming towards you, or following you?
