This has just happened around 1 hour ago.
So me and my friend were going on a walk around 11:00 and our neighbourhood is generally pretty nice and quiet because it’s all old people that live on my street.
But tonight was much different. We were walking and as we were walking by this house there was a man in the shadows on a bike just staring at us. I’ll never forget the look he gave us. So we walked a bit faster and as we walked faster he got on his bike and chased us so we ran as fast as possible and he wouldn’t stop following us until we got to a steep hill with a lot of speed bumps.
From there we ran down the hill and ran the 3 streets away to my home. He just disappeared after that so I got my friend’s mom to drive by to see if he is was still in those shadows waiting and sure enough he as. He has been sitting there for about 2 hours and I’m freaking out. I’m very close to calling the cops.
All I can say is thank God I made it home alive.
