What a story...how frightening and how wonderful that you arrived safely.
Thanks. I learned to be more aware and when in doubt, when afraid, stick your hand down in your bag and look determined. That guy thought I was armed and we were on a deserted road, no lights and he was looking straight at me who was frozen thinking "This is it for me". The strange thing was that I froze, I couldn't have moved for anything, couldn't have run, fought, anything. Just froze like some possum.
