Did he have to toss me out here? Alleys are not comfortable places to be dumped off. Noting a bad feeling, I keep my mace close. Gory things happen to those who are unaware. Even if I cannot see someone, I sense them. Reacting to my fear, I keep my back bristled.

Watch out for strangers! However if you see me, I expect a hug ;)

Not sure - he has not attacked me yet.

Another excellent poem, Caren. Your acrostic is danger, so well described. I stay clear of alleys!
