Its around 22:00... The streets are dark and empty... The occasional car passes by, but that's it... A 1 mile walk becomes so quiet, that ur mind drifts apart... As soon as you make that last turn and you reach the bridge near the river, you cannot help it... There it is again... This itch, that someone is there, near, watching, waiting for you to lower your guard and jump you... You make awkward moves, twitching and stretching, as if preparing but also trying to intimidate! Deep in your mind, something screams at the top of its lungs that what you are doing is ridiculous... There is noone there, noone after you, and even if they were, what you do is stupid and useless... If you are so very positive that it is true, RUN!!! But somehow the voice is lost, suppressed to a whisper...
You continue your walk, un-hindered from any inhibition or fear... If it's meant to happen, it will happen and you are ready to deal with it... If not, well another peaceful walk got fucked up due to your paranoia... As you walk and you reach the highway, you turn towards the bridge, and cross it...
And there they are! Wait, wrong, they can't be them! They were supposed to be stalking you, not walking ahead of you.. You take a closer look... They are two boys, around 16... Chubby, worried, and they smell fear... You keep your pace unaltered... They are about 80 away... You see them glancing back, picking up the pace and talking to each other, in that all-familiar way... The way you use to plan action... And somehow you know what's coming. They are thinking that you are after them, after their precious something that they carry - a new mobile, a couple of eights to get through the week, something precious for the age of sweet 16... You know because you've done it... And you choose to press on. Not force anything, nor act in any other way than you would have if they were not there... Further down the bridge comes to an en, in a Y junction...
Luck will only decide... You are going right... If they do to, prepare for a fight. If they go left, then there is nothing to worry about. They literally run and break left. That is it... But as you go on your way, the earlier eerie feeling returns.... You are restless... You must satisfy that feeling...
