I have many questions about this. 1. Why did the stalker let the narrator go in the very beginning of the story? I assume he was an older, larger man, and after going through the trouble to kidnap the narrator why would he just let him get away? There was no indication that there were any cops in the woods.

2. Why did Veronica have to die? I understand that the stalker didn't want anyone or anything to come between himself and the narrator but out of all the people in this story Veronica had the least involvement with the narrator and thus I feel that her death was unjust and unnecessary.

3. In the end, why did the narrator settle for Josh? I don't feel that it's because Josh and the narrator were very similar with the exception of their hair color. I also don't feel that it was because keeping up with the narrator was becoming increasingly difficult. The stalker had killed someone and followed the narrator for most of his life, even sat next to him at the movie theater so he obviously was devoted enough to end up with the narrator in the end.

4. Finally, I don't understand why the stalker took pictures of others such as Veronica and Josh. I know that he took pictures of the narrator but in those instances I don't believe the narrator would have been in them.

Overall, I loved this story. I've read it multiple times and have recommended it to my friends as well. I feel like there are some things that don't make sense but still 10/10
