  The word "uptake" does mean "understanding/comprehension," but I don't think it's used the way you're using it. I think you mean that this is your "take."
  
  You could stand to run this by a grammar beta. Commas missing, mostly.
  
  This is more of a frame than a story. You could build a story on it, but there isn't much there now. Why would the mystery man care about one girl and some kids? You should at least pose the question.

  This was a bit hard to rate. I wasn't exactly drawn into the story. I guess I didn't feel the tension enough, which is what I think you ought to be aiming for in this story. The hook is that there's a mystery man stalking the narrator, but I didn't feel the narrator's worry or paranoia or something. She just seemed rambling or the narration made her attention seem flighty.
  
  Still, you could probably work on this more. Add a bit more mood and details.
  
  A few grammar things I noticed off bat, but you're at least more coherent than some of the other works over here. :)
