now in the scheme of things there are many blogs I have posted that go under the general banner of now I've seen everything, but I can pretty much guarantee that only one discusses fear. The creepy man with no mask on, standing over me whilst I am sitting, eating. Wanting to exchange his lighter for my half drunk can of coke. Then insisting no, demanding I shake his hand. Then I ran away as fast as I possibly could.
now there is a new one and the very thought of it terrifies me
so the curfew is over and I am on the tram to get some shopping from Aldi. As i board there are two men sitting with their masks under their chins. As I sit I can feel their eyes on me. I briefly glance over and they both have a cold look on their faces, so I quickly avert my gaze, but not without noticing one of them holding a mobile phone in his hand. At least what I thought was a mobile phone. I also notice, besides the driver, we are the only people on the tram.
I hear a sound like the sound of a gas heater being turned on. Then, peripherally, I see the sparks. Coming from the end of the "phone". This guy has one of those tasers that looks like a mobile phone.
then they stand up and start wandering around. I am looking out the window but he pushes the button and makes the sound again. I am shitting myself. For some strange reason I have the local Police programmed into my phone, but the very act of calling the Police might provoke them. I am near the door so the next stop and I am off as fast as I can.
the next stop arrives and they get off, but not before pushing the button again
if their goal was to truly terrify me, it worked a treat - to say the least. So many thoughts went through my mind afterwards. What the hell did they want?
now I was near the middle door. They were near the front door. I hadn't noticed that at the last stop, someone had gotten on from the back door.
forgive my language, but the only words I could think of were thank fuck for that.
so please, on this level, no more surprises.
