Ran Like A Mad Dog

I almost had a heart attack just now. A creepy guy was smoking at the train station then he started following me and asked if we could talk. I shouted no and ran like a mad dog. Normally I would've talked to him but after being mugged I don't trust strangers anymore. It's better safe than sorry. To make it worst there was just the two of us in that alley and I can't take chances. I'd rather be paranoid than injured.

Gee it's just too freaky. Who in their right mind would stop and talk in that instant? He really gave me such a fright. Adrenaline rush. My tummy hurts though I feel like vomiting from the stress.

@miniam I was brought up in a 3rd world country and frankly I thought Australia will not be as scary as my birthplace. But ever since I was back home I never experienced this scary things. Here it's becoming more and more prevalent.

If I was stronger I would have punched him for giving me such a fright.

That's the best thing for you to do. Better safe than never.

True. He picked the wrong time to talk. If he was on his right mind he might think it's weird to talk to a stranger on a dark part of the street without other people. It's just too scary for the receiving end. I really want to punch him for giving me a scare. My tummy is upset because of him.

It definitely offset my working mood. Now my tummy hurts. I don't know if it's because I was too nervous or the food I ate refluxed because of the running.

I would probably run too, It's better to be able to tell the tale.

I am really contemplating on learning how to drive. Walking late night is already too scary for me. And I'm always walking late nights because of my shifts.

If I were in your shoes, I did the same. I can't wait that he will do something wrong against me.

Something bad had already happened to me before so I'm really traumatised and can't take any chances.
