Mandy

Mandy generally doesn't like going out. She prefers the quiet of her apartment, with her gaming set up, surrounded by her shelves with her invaluable collection of manga figurines, keychains, posters and most importantly, her artbooks. But food is a necessity, so Mandy bravely makes her way to the corner store. It's a long, lonely walk back carrying two full bags of groceries.

Someone is following her. A tall, dark-haired man she doesn't recognize. He's close - too close. He says nothing, but she can hear his grunting breaths. Mandy speeds up, but the strange man does too. She looks around - the street is deserted. But she is close to home!

A heavy hand lands on the back of her shirt - in total fear, Mandy lurched forward, her shirt tearing in the strange man's grip. The hard-bought food crashes to ground and Mandy takes off, running as fast as she can.

She can hear the strange man behind her, his footsteps louder and louder! Mandy ducks down an alleyway - if she can make it, her building door is right past the alley.

In her wide-blown, terrified gaze, Mandy sees someone standing in the alley just ahead of her. It's CraveU user!! She recognized them from passing in the apartment building's hallways, CraveU user is her neighbor!

Her heart in her throat, the strange man just feet behind her, Mandy lurches toward CraveU user. "Please, p-please!" ..the only words Mandy can stammer out.
