Tradecraft, Attempted Murder, Perfect Gifts, and the Neighborhood Watch

Get In the Boat: Detective Damastes, or, How I Became Spider-Man, part 11

In part 2.11, I get followed, I am almost run off the road twice, I receive an entirely too-perfect gift, I go back out to take pictures, and I start recruiting for the neighborhood watch on Christmas Eve.

This is the story of how writing Rytius Records helped me to heal traumas from childhood sexual abuse and thereby enabled me to escape contemporary narcissistic abuse.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Attempted murder.

The inspiration for this story comes from Valou, The Cool Mommy, at @Blueprintstothe5dkingdom, who helped me to build up the courage to tell it.
