Warning: Not a happy memory

I wonder how many of you remember this. When I was twelve Mom received an anonymous phone call from someone who said, "I am going to rape and kill your daughter." Not knowing about the phone call, I was heading out to play outside when Mom told me I couldn't. I asked why and Mom hemmed and hawed and finally told me she'd gotten a phone call from someone who said he wanted to hurt me. It wasn't until I overheard her talking to Dad that I found out exactly what the person had said. Mom and Dad called the police who came over and asked questions. We never found out who had made the call. I think Mom and Dad assumed it was a prank call. I was scared out of my mind though. I had nightmares for a long time after that. One nice thing I can remember about the whole thing . . . Craig following me around outside with a big stick, protecting me.
