---Fear and Darkness---

The still road was abandoned and onyx-painted dark. I was walking from waitressing near the park. The stars were Spring bright. And then~I heard wandering footsteps behind me! Too frightened to turn around and see. A decision I had to make! To turn and face danger for my sake! Within three feet of me, stood a huge, burly man. I yelled, "what do you want?" Amazingly,he turned from me and he ran! I shall always remember that Spring, frightftful night. To look fear right in the eye, No matter what, still gives me everlasting might! 4/20/2021

Dear Tom, it was awful....such a relief? Indeed. Let a bully Here or anywhere get in my face! I cam handle them. I know who they are. They mess with others....viciously. Too bad. Pangie xx

If this ever happens to you, use your best judgement! I figured he was a rapist and if confronted, they go running. I had read about that. It terrified me! He ran away so fast,)))Caren. But more importantly, I don't let people, or issues scare me! So that event, changed my life. I never live my life as a victim of anything. Thank you.""Pangie xx
