It must be my love for thrillers and crime shows that led me to becoming über paranoid. Tonight, I went to CVS and the parking lot was about a third full. There were not a lot of people in the big lot because it was already 9 pm. When I came out of the store, there was barely a soul in sight. I walked towards my car imagining a suspenseful background music in my head. The moment I reached my car, I opened the back doors, made sure there was nobody hiding behind the driver and front passenger seats. Then I quickly jumped onto the driver seat, locked the doors and looked around to make sure it was safe. Oh and I checked my rear mirror every now and then too.

Better safe than sorry.
