“Damn hackers,” she hissed, halfheartedly amused
that some deranged geek had hacked into her webcam. Looking to the bottom of the picture, only to
notice a little imprint written in an unusual red font that read, “If you dare,
click here”
Smirking slightly she scoffed, “Oh please, if I
dare, well I dare, I so, so dare.” She hissed as she touched the screen with
her finger, clicking on the odd red font. Ashley could feel the rage, the anger
growing deep within as images of all the little four-eyed-pimple-faced-perverts
that had seen her most private of areas, trying to recount her movements,
wondering if she had unknowingly exposed her young, 24 year-old body, to
millions of horny geeks and four-eyed freaks across the web.
“Finally,” Ashley hissed as the video began to
play, an image of her computer webcam of herself sitting at her computer desk
in her bedroom as she typed away in front of her computer, the sound of her
headphones blaring loudly through her ears. The angle of the camera moving
slowly across her, eyes focused on the computer screen as she responded to
whomever it was she was flirting with in a chatroom.
Following her eye movements on the computer screen
she stopped, it was here Ashley saw it in the dim lit shadows behind her. Squinting, she saw a shadow; the almost faint
outline of a man standing in the far corner, near the head of her bed. Fear overtook her thoughts as the shadowed
image moved a few feet closer toward her. Her back still facing the unknown
visage as the dark image sat down on the side of her bed.
Moving her head closer to her phone, she continued
to watch the image more intensely. Watching the outline of the shadow sitting
on her bed, ruffling the covers of her bedspread and silk sheets between their
fingers, Ashley felt a sickening sensation growing in the pit of her stomach as
it quickly began to tighten, her heart pounding in trepidation. She froze, eyes widening as a cold chill
burst through her entire body. Coming to the realization that this person, this
pervert, may still be there with her, watching her even now from somewhere
inside her own apartment.
