It started a few weeks ago. I noticed him during my closing shift—a tall figure standing just beyond the glow of the parking lot lights. He didn’t come in, didn’t approach, just stood there, watching.
At first, I brushed it off. Weirdos hang around all the time. But he kept coming back. Every night, same spot, same blank stare, like he was waiting for something.
One night, I worked up the nerve to step outside. “Hey, can I help you?” I called out, my voice shaky. He didn’t respond. Didn’t even flinch. Just kept staring.
I backed up, locked the doors, and spent the rest of the shift pretending he wasn’t there. By the time I left, he was gone. But as I walked to my car, I found a single note on the windshield: “I see you, friend.”
Drove home in silence, locked every door, and whispered, “Yes, friend. This is fine.”
