The first was around 9pm, one night in early February. I was driving home from another long day at work when I noticed a car behind making the same turns. Dread knotted in the pit of my stomach.

 

‘Are they following me? Is this one of the anonymous people who threatened me online today? Have they worked out what car I drive, are they following me home, are they going to attack me?’
