      «But, I just saw it!»

      Helen ran to replay the video. The disappeared picture in the tape looked as if it was blown away by wind, and, having fallen on the window sill, was no longer visible. There was nobody in sight at the window.

      – 4-

      The early doorbell rang woke Helen up. The courier was standing on the doorstep.

      «But I didn’t order anything. Perhaps it’s a mistake,» Helen said.

      The courier looked at the beautifully decorated gift box. Named the recipient’s last name. Address. Said their private delivery service office is obligated to keep the sender’s name secret if he wants to remain incognito. The contents of the package were checked and are safe.

      «Please sign under» recipient», the courier handed over the receipt.

      «Before signing, I will ask you to unpack this parcel by yourself outside my apartment.»

      The courier smiled slightly embarrassed, unpacked the box, quickly let the girl sign the receipt form and left.

      What Helen saw in the box confused her completely. A dildo was inside the box. The pink, glossy silicone shone through the clear plastic packaging. «Helper Pitter,» it was written with large letters.

      «Idiots. Stupid jokes.» The girl didn’t touch the box. Just slammed the door in. After standing at the door, she thought everyone would know what that box and its contents, as it stood outside the door, directly related to her. Opened the door. Took the box. Started pushing it into the trash can. It didn’t fit. Ripped the trash bag off. Helen took out the dildo package. Flattened the box with her feet. Pushed it into the trash. Threw the dildo on top.

      «No. I can’t do that. I have to wrap it up. So nobody can see it.»

      There was no paper, no newspaper, not even an old packet on hand. Wrapped in plastic, the brand-new dildo laid on the kitchen floor near the trash can.

      The doorbell rang.

      Helen grabbed the dildo, wrapped it in her jacket, and hid it in the closet. A neighbor came in to borrow a box of matches.

      «Dildo. I’ve only seen it in a picture. But here… There’s a pink dildo in my closet. That’s funny. And a bit cheesy. And scary. It must be from a maniac who’s watching me from his window.» Helen went to the window. Pulled back the drape.
