He's Here To Kill Us All

I was the morning guy at a crappy station in a small market.  For weeks someone would call the listener line and threaten me physical harm.  He said all kinds of stuff like he was going to kill me, he was going to blow up the radio station, you name it.

One day when my shift was over I noticed a man in the lobby.  The studios window directly faced the lobby so I could see clear as day that someone had walked in.  He told the receptionist that he wanted to speak to me.

I did not put two and two together so I met the man in the lobby.  He claimed that he was a jock in another market and wanted a tour of the radio station.  It was a tiny station and the studio was pretty much the main part of the entire building.  We talked for a few minutes and something struck me as odd about the whole thing.  It was a small market and we were a mom and pop owned radio station, why did this man want to tour our station so badly?  Why did he not go to the corporate stations in town?

I tried to listen to the mans voice to see if it was the listener line terrorist that had been harassing me.  I did not know.  I called the owner and quickly explained what was going on and he completely overreacted.  He showed up at the radio station with an assault rifle.  By this time the man was already gone but it makes me think what would he have done if he was still there.  It also makes me think if what the man said was true or if in fact he was the man making threats.
