The Jogger

Jean, a middle-aged woman who lives alone in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Recently divorced and trying to regain control of her life, Jean begins a daily jogging routine for exercise and mental clarity. At first, it’s peaceful—early morning air, quiet streets, the comforting rhythm of her breath and footsteps.

But soon, she begins to notice a man—another jogger—who appears to be running the same route. Always behind her. Never speaking. Just… there. At first, she tells herself it’s coincidence. Then she tries to ignore him. But no matter how early she starts or what route she changes to, he’s always there.
