Helmet: A Short Story

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging has many uses in today’s world. Your doctor may order a PET scan to analyze blood flow, oxygen intake, the metabolism of your organs and tissues. It’s an invaluable apparatus, to help acquire the precise whereabouts of a tumor. Unfortunately, to acquire a good PET exam a patient must stay perfectly still while taking 80-120 minutes.

It is finally Saturday and I get to catch up on all my absent work. But the sad news is that I had to stay at my late great grandmother's house on Friday to clean the house and get it ready for rituals. But it was not that tiring, but I came home at 5:30 am. And I fell asleep and woke up at 8:00 am. Then, I got ready for breakfast and made some orange juice and toasted bread. I left my house at 10 am and I has a hectic drive. So when I was entering the freeway this man shows up and starts to honk for 4 seconds straight for no reason.

As I walked out of my car, I begin to put my earphones on and played music from my new favorite Khalid. His song put me into a good mood as I was walking down the beach and enjoying the fresh air. Since I was already down the beach, I decided to walk to the pier. Everything was fine up to this point, but a stranger came out of nowhere and started to follow me. This continued to happen for about ten minutes before I took any action. I started to walk in a circle and the stranger copied my exact movements. A lot of things were racing to my mind, was this man a serial killer or a pedophile. What were his intention, why would he be following me.
