“That’s one of the scariest experiences I’ve had”

I was walking home one night and walked past a man going in the opposite direction of me. As he passed, he said, “Oh wow she’s beautiful.”

I carried on walking and ignored it but when I looked over my shoulder, he had turned around and was walking behind me. As I quickened my pace, he did, too. I crossed the road, and he followed behind me. I went to the nearest house I saw to make it seem like I was going home. When he saw me do this, he walked away down the closest road.

I had a sinking feeling from the moment I heard him say what I did. All I thought to myself was: you have to get away. Luckily he stopped, but that’s one of the scariest experiences I’ve had.
