The Stalker Routine

The stalkers work at least two shifts, probably three. As I've already written, they 'watch' me 24-7. They know exactly where I am in the apartment at any given time, and they make it a point to let me know it by tapping or stomping or banging the wall with some heavy object. The day shift is mostly a tap-tap shift. The mad tapper simply taps above me, reminding me at various points that he or she is being very attentive to my typing. However, when I begin to type things unpleasant the mad tapper becomes silent or begins to beat the walls.

Some time after 7:00 pm, however, the mad stomper takes over from the mad tapper. The mad stomper is quite violent and I keep my loaded gun ready at all times the mad stomper is doing his thing above me.

The midnight tapper takes over sometime after midnight, and stays vigilant all night, letting me know, from time to time, that I am being 'observed.' All three shifts will gas me if that is the current plan.

It has been going on like this literally for years. The 'occupants' upstairs may come and go, may move in and may move out, but the routine remains the same.
