a young student of the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Glenda was enjoying her solitary morning routine.

The UTMB campus was empty for spring break,

Glenda was in her own world.

She walked along the vacant sidewalks in the dark. She didn't even notice

The car followed her for a block before it rolled to a stop. Behind Glenda, the large
