I was 19 and extremely pregnant (maybe 36 weeks), and we lived in a crappy apartment in Savannah, where I attended college. I would walk to class and back, and one day on my way back, a man started following me from the gas station about three blocks from the apartment, yelling, ‘Hey, Ma!’ and saying ‘You’re a mom I’d like to f***!’ He followed me all the way home and tried to come through the iron gate after me to follow me up the fire escape. I told him my boyfriend was upstairs (lie), and he said that was fine, he’d probably like to watch, and then I threatened to call the cops, and he finally left.” — Anonymous
