PANIC!!!

Its a gorgeous morning..birds are chirping sun is shining. Had a cup of coffee and decided to go for a walk. retrieving my MP3 player and lacing up my sneakers I stretch for a minute and head out singing along with my favorite rage songs.

I'm about a half mile away from home when a little white car slows down and stops next to me. Two of the guys working on the road are in it. "There's a guy up there on the side of the road, ma'am, he doesn't look too good." I smile and think hmmm...maybe Brian is out doing yardwork. But the guy says, "He has a beard and he don't look right in the head" Now I could have turned around and rerouted my decided trek and shortened it or I could just tread along and be on the look out for this strange man.

I live in the country. Its tiny town USA. You rarely see a soul outside unless they are driving by and you can walkfor miles between cars sometimes. Just depends on the road you choose to walk on. Well I thanked the men for giving me the heads up and continued toward the center of town. It took about ten minutes for me to come to where this strange man was. He was dressed in all black and obviously indigent. His long reddish hair was long as was his scruffy beard. He was walking in a small circle. Stopping every 4 or 5 seconds to take a drink from the gallon jug, in which I assume was water. I crossed the road so I would be on the other side as I passed him. He spotted me and stared at me..I was kinda startled by his eyes. So I kept walking..increasing my speed just enough so it didn't look like I was running. I wish I could have. He crossed the road and fell in step behind me. I looked back..he was just staring at me. I crossed back over the street watching him. I didn't even care if a car was coming as I did this.

He stayed on the other side of the road, but continued to walk behind me. I tucked my headphones into my shirt ready to run if he increased his speed. I'm just barely over a mile from home, but there isn't much between there and here.  I was thinking i could just keep going and hope someone would be outside so it would appear I was meeting them and the guy would back off. But it was just barely 7am and those who are home are in bed still or getting ready for work.

I'm only the equivilant of a block from Brian's house now and this guy is still walking behind me, though I have gained a bit of a distance between us. I cross back over the road towards Brian's house. The guy crosses the road to the side I had been on. I run into the driveway. I have never been here either. Brian is my step-fathers youngest brother. There is a huge rift between them so we don't talk to one another. He is a bit strange. The gnome or voodoo doll in the yard with a full head of hair totally has me on edge coupled with the strange unknown transient guy that is behind me. I definitely don't know which was worse. But I was happy to see he was home and I knocked on his door. Starling him as well. He doesn't have many visitors. He likes it like that. But I asked him to take me home. He did. Bless his heart. Funny how he knows who I am and I know who he is but we've never spoken before this morning.

So we get in his truck and head back to the house. The man in black is gone. No trace of him at all. It's almost as if he never was. But I am sure he knew when I crossed into the driveway I was going to call the authorities and he headed back to the woods. That or I ate some very bad chinese last night.

I am a grown woman. Seemingly brave and outspoken, but the fear I had in my throat was terrifying. So now I must take my mom with me on my walks or go to the gym and get on the beastly treadmill. I am not happy knowing I am scared of the man in the woods.
