Shady Police Officer Walk

Date: 10/16/2019

Outside my moms house by the car. A police officer looking pretty down came by and sought my companionship. I started walking with him not knowing whether he was a shady character or not. I wanted to give him a chance while also remaining cautious. He seemed on the verge of crying. We walked around the neighborhood. As he was about to tell his story this overwhelming dread hit me like it’s really dark and I’m alone and I’m scared and this could be a very bad person and I’ve made a mistake and want to go home. And I saw my moms car pass by to go the house. So as the guy was about to share his story I quickly texted her like was that you can I go home. And she said yes. And all the while I was being quite rude to police officer stranger not letting him begin his story. It was getting so dark I couldn’t really see in front of me and where to step. But I was also trying to every once in a while look beside me to check on him not trying to attack me. I couldn’t really see him well either. It was terrifying. I told him I had to go home sorry and that we’d catch up another time. As he dropped me off he looked as though he were about to give me a reassuring squeeze on the butt or hip or idk because I quickly hopped out of the way to avoid and was practically running to the house at this point shaking. Mom was inside. And I was like mama oh mama. And I was so happy so relieved so safe. But I didn’t know how to share with her what had happened. He had done nothing evil with me. But there was just something wrong about the situation I could feel it. Something terrifying in the works. It made me tremble to think I was so vulnerable. And seeing I was upset she kept trying to ask me what happened but I didn’t know how or where to start. There was another side to me that just felt plain guilty for not being too attentive to the man. In another world I would have eagerly wanted to hear whatever story he had to share and comfort him as best I could. But in reality the entire encounter felt fabricated.
