Waiting For An Echo
I see you are onlineso am I,
I am invisible.
I see you are offline.I know you are therelike I,
I am invisible.
Any stalkerworth his or her saltcan appreciate
from imaginedglimpsesof shape and shadow,
how tantalizing
that the one could justbe
a tap or a pokeawayon the other sideof a fewfloating windows.
Longing,waiting for a replythat never comes
but ever presentfor that miracleconnection;
in the valley,once proud Echowaits to answer
her love.

I don't think I have been stalked this way. (And no, I don't really want to know!)

Awesome how you put yourself in another's shoes.
What a well done "dreadful idea."
and trolls too. :)
a great write.
Another title that made me laugh with its frankness. I love how you've addressed invisibility here as it's such a part of the bizarre cyberspace universe. Fine writing as usual. Thank you again for your engaging comment on Piezoelectric Prototype. I'm enthusiastically anticipating your NaPoWriMo marathon!
Good luck with your NaPoWriMo challenges, Raven.
but are the people who are the cyber stalkers any different than the ones who are stalker in real life, who might stalk you out of the library?
Nicely illustrated. The opening is great. Repeating the i am invisible can illicit a variety of thoughts. And love the way you ended the piece with the allusion to echo. Very nice touch. Thanks
Thanks for the visit and comments, everyone.
@Zongrik --not much different in basic mentality, but it is far easier to stalk "casually" online since the chance of discovery is much more remote, as long one doesn't do more than watch. In most cases, I think, more watching than actual hacking and intrusion.
@dsnake: I have much to say about trolls, but for another day perhaps...
Ha! Crazy! Well-imagined. K.
Thanks K. :)
