- **Marian's instructions, "For Day 14, let’s muse on invisibility. What does it feel like to be invisible? Who or what is invisible? Would invisibility be a cool superpower or what? Or, feel free to explore the links I’m providing for Christina Grimmie and be inspired by her work or life.
- When these things come up, desperate infatuations and stalking of celebrities, I always think of Jody Foster and John D. Hinckley, Jr. This came to a head in 1981 when he shot President Reagan six times to show his love for Ms. Foster. (Obsession of John Hinckley)
- Here is a rundown of I think 39 celebreties who have stalked in the not to distant past (link), in case you want to see. Several men are included.

You describe a certain kind of crazy, one which we all fear because it defies our concepts of reason.
Yikes. Powerful stuff here. Well done.
a grim prospect ~
a certain kind of mentality which you portray well here is at the root of such incidents. Nice piece Jim.
Whoaa this one knocked my socks off!
Ooh, you really nailed this one.
Yeah... so incomprehensible when this happens. It really is. I wish these kinds of compulsions could be identified and the people helped. Seems obvious to say that but it's still true. I was sad to learn about Christina Grimmie only upon her death, as she really seemed like a good young person, a gem.
You have captured the horror of an unsettled mind.
