Maurice had been born with a terrible condition that had left him on a wheelchair, additionally he was severely disfigured. His condition had never allowed him to leave his house, he was too frail, too sick. The lack of human contact made him become strange. He would obsessively look through the window, in his mind everyone on the street would have a secret story.
As Maurice grew older he started looking more and more at girls. Girls walking around with other girls, girls running down the street, girls with their boyfriends. He started to obsessively follow them, in a figurate sense. Maurice had his favorites, and he had given them names and charted down their schedules of passing in front of his window. One day, one if the girls saw him staring and waved at him. She was already one of his favorites, but from that day on she became the only one. He started opening the window to be able to eavesdrop what she was talking about. That way he found out where was she studying, and after that, and some hours of cyberstalking her, Maurice knew everything about Diane's life.
Soon he would spend his days between stalking her on his computer and stalking her through the window. But it was not enough, he had to find a way to talk to her, a way to make her realize he existed. He looked into all her personal pages, through all the forums she was involved in. And he saw the light, she was a fan of a relatively obscure music band, and she was asking whether there were any other fans in the city, so they could meet. It was Maurice's opportunity. He posted a reply and waited.
