Stalker



I noticed someone following me down the sidewalk at a distance. I turned. 

"Excuse me, who are you and why are you following me?" 

"I'm the old you," he responded. 

"Me?" 

"No, the old you . . . before Christ." 

"But you're dead," I said with confidence. 

"I know," he said. 

"Then why are you following me?" 

He smiled.  "Because sometimes you forget I'm dead."
