Though the thing that terrified John the most were strangers, to him the idea of someone unknown interacting with him seemed a bit dangerous and unnecessary. John watched the news day in and day out he would see just how much society had collapsed under it’s own morality, he felt no connection to his peers and just wanted to be left alone.

The only interaction he ever had was with the security guard at the gate, an overweight man that had very little interest in conversing with John; something he relished. At the end of each shift he would drive home in the dark secluded interstate, while the world slept he would have the road to himself, there was only one problem; John suffered from intense anxiety from the idea of one day being pulled over by the police.
