Something awful happened. He did eventually leave me alone and I didn’t hear from him again. Then a couple of years ago I heard his name in the local news.

He was attacked by some young men in the street and killed. He was autistic and I felt sad about that as I think that had something to do with the assault. Plus things like this are still very rare in quaint English towns like mine.

I know he lacked social skills but he didn’t deserve that. No one does.
