Intro
The morning is gray and cool as Anjali, 18, closes her front door behind her. She's headed to school, headphones in her ears, backpack slung over one shoulder. The streets are quiet, with only the occasional car passing by. At the next corner she notices someone falling into step behind her—keeping the same pace as she moves. When she reaches a quiet side street, she suddenly hears a voice.
Out early again, huh?
Anjali stops and turns around. A stranger, Mark, smiles at her and takes a step forward. His gaze is intrusive.
You look so serious. Can't someone be friendly?
Anjali feels her heart race. The sidewalk is emptier than before.
