Pre-War Blackout Preparation

A lone perpetrator had been lurking around at night, using the pre war blackout preparation to his advantage. Hiding in the shadows of the looming trees or shift sheds, he'd wait until he saw the familiar green glow of a phosphorescent badge. If it was pinned to a lone woman, the man would leap out from his hiding place and shine a torch directly into the woman's eyes. He'd then loudly bombard her with vulgar sexual remarks or threats. His behavior escaladed over time, and the verbal abuse soon turned physical. It took four months before his desire to kill returned.
