Every day someone follows you.
Have you ever seen them?
They appear in many forms.
They are the stranger in the car next to you.
The cashier helping you pack your shopping.
The birds in your garden.
They always have the same feature though,
the one tell-tale thing...
Their scent.
Hauntingly familiar yet sickening.
Like rotting flesh and lavender.
Breathe in, can you smell it?
Our brains gradually grow so used to
certain smells we stop noticing them altogether.
This is how they escape notice.
Pay attention.
Smell the air.
Smell their sickly sweet decay.
Run. Hide. Do not let them catch on.
