Are you afraid of the dark?

[Dutton]

I am even younger. Probably seven years old(eight ?). Me and my friend have been staying longer after school playing, and the clock is after five in the afternoon. This is during the beginning of winter so it has become quite dark already.

As we are walking home a man is walking fifty meters behind us. He's wearing a large trenchcoat. My friend looks back at him and says to me "I thought I saw something glint in his hand." "Glint?" I say. "Could it potentially be a knife?". "Maybe" he responds. As both of us discuss it further we grow fearful and decide to walk faster, deviating from our original path home in case we need to hide.

As we walk faster, the man behind us walks faster. "He's after us!" we whisper and start to run. As we turn a corner we see two girls sitting on a large rocky hill by the walking path. With a more mature perspective those girls were probably 14-15, sneaking out to try alcohol in a secluded place. We climb up the hill and hide behind some trees on it.

The man turns around the corner. As he sees the girls he asks:
"Have you seen two small boys walking by?"
"No" they answer.

After the man has left we come out of hiding. What he really wanted I'll never know, but better safe than sorry :]

Wow, well i think it's probably best not to speak with such guy, he might have hurt you! damn the whole story was tense!
