I decided to check out FoxNews.com last night before going to bed. The latest big story was about the BTK Killer. Apparently, he has been giving detailed accounts of how he killed his victims. This got me really scared. After all, I’m a single woman, living alone. I have my two dogs, but still - what if some sick-minded individual happened across me and decided to make me his next victim? Would anyone even know I was hurt or dead? I’m guessing that my boss would probably call to check on me if I didn’t show up for work. But sometimes I go days without a single phone call. What then?
I think I laid awake nearly all night. I kept looking at the window and hoping no one was standing outside it. This is unusual for me. I’ve always been the strong, independent type. I never think twice about going out to Walmart at 2 AM. I guess it’s good that I’m being a little more “aware”, but it sure would be nice if we didn’t have to worry about such things. This world is not at all like God intended it to be. I’d like to say that time has made things worse, but evil has been in the hearts of man since the Biblical times. Just as Cain killed Abel, we’re still killing our own brothers! I just don’t understand it.
Maybe I need a man after all - to protect me from the crazy killers out there.
