The Note

Sophia pulled the hood tight over her medium length straight brown hair and rushed through the rain. Her therapy had run long and she was worried about a parking ticket. The session had gone well, and her anxiety was subdued at the moment, except for the fear of the ticket.

Rounding the corner of the brownstone building as the last light of day started to fade her green eyes scanned the street until she spotted her 2003 black Honda Civic. An envelope was under the windshield wiper. She cringed and let out a sigh of exasperation. Quickly finishing the hundred feet to the car she snatched the envelope and unlocked and opened the door with a quick smooth movement, ducking inside.

The rain made a thunderous cacophony on the roof of the car as it picked up. It seemed she had gotten in just in time. Being grateful to at least be out of that, her mind went back to the ticket. Looking down, she opened the water resistant envelope expecting to see a citation. Instead she wished she’d gotten one. There was a single page with a plain font in bold at the center. It said only one sentence.

I’m going to kill you.

Sophia felt her anxiety flutter intensely and reached for her pills, quickly swallowing one. She looked at the note again. It said nothing else. Alarmed, she looked around her and could see not a soul, simply other parked cars. She grabbed her phone and dialed the therapist but it went to voicemail, then she tried her boyfriend.

It also went to voicemail. Scott had been gone on a business trip but he was supposed to be back today. In fact, Sophia had been planning to pick him up from the airport in just a few hours. She hated the gloomy rainy winters in the northwest, but she was looking forward to having him back.
