Ted: Lurking

I am afraid to look around the corner. I don't even know why I am afraid. Is this another panic attack? Did I forget my meds? I look in the pillbox from my vest pocket. No, Tuesday's pills are gone. Somebody bumps me from behind, muttering. I notice now that people are starting to stare, milling around me on their own errands, oblivious to the danger lurking just around the corner. They curse me for delaying them.

I have to stop this, whatever it is. No one else even senses it. No one else knows what is about to happen.
