Showed them the emails, said I was scared. The officer told me he couldn't really help. He'd made a note of it, in case something happened.

I dunno that made me feel better. Like if I got attacked by this guy at least my earlier concern would be part of the narrative.

I walked home, searched my apartment in fear. No one was there.

But I kept a weapon -- sometimes a knife, sometimes a mag lite -- by the door and by the bed for months.

All because some guy was mad about something I'd said online.

Nothing ever happened, and I forgot about that guy and his small stupid website for years.

I remember being terrified at the time, and clearing every room in my apartment when I got home for weeks, and then I just ... forgot.

in a way thats good tho. Yes its scary, but to live w/ that fear every day for years? He prob forgot too - just wanted to scare u
