People Who Know What Real Danger Feels Like

I had a two in the morning grocery shop run. The second man, who was standing next to the cashier, was maintaining eye contact. I quickly paid and walked out.

I heard footsteps on my walk home, and when I turned around, I saw it was that man. “Why so fast, miss?” he exclaimed. Even with my haste, he remained behind me. Abruptly, I heard someone scream. As I turned around, I was startled to see that the cashier was holding the man’s hand and making him stop. Fearing for his life, the man fled.

After making sure I was okay, the cashier revealed to me the terrifying news that this same guy had followed and robbed another women in the middle of the night. He knew he had to intervene as soon as he saw him in the store. After learning that valuable lesson, I never again ventured out alone at night, not even for a fast trip to the convenience store.
