In October of 2006, I visited an antiques market that my father and I had gone to together for years.
He had passed away that spring.
It was my first time going without him.
I almost stayed home.
But then, while walking past a dealer's table, something caught my attention.
A photograph sticking out of an old camera bag.
I recognized the house immediately.
It was my parents' house.
The photograph was dated October 1994.
Twelve years earlier.
I opened the bag.
There were more photographs inside.
Different years.
Different locations.
Some showed my parents' house.
Others showed me leaving work, buying groceries, or spending time with my father.
I was in every photograph.
Someone had been secretly photographing me for twelve years.
But one picture frightened me more than all the others.
It showed my father and me standing in our backyard.
At first, it looked ordinary.
Then I noticed something in the foreground.
The edge of my mother's lamp.
Part of the living room curtain.
The photograph hadn't been taken from the street.
Someone had been inside our house.
I drove straight to my mother's home.
When I showed her the photographs, she told me something my father had kept secret.
Before he passed away, he had begun to suspect that someone was watching the family.
Then we discovered an envelope hidden inside his desk.
It contained more photographs.
And a message in his handwriting.
I thought finding those pictures was the most frightening part.
I was wrong.
Because someone had deliberately left that camera bag where I would find it.
And whoever had been watching my family for twelve years...
Wasn't finished watching me.
