Today as I was walking to the store

A little boy was walking home from school with his little brother

I notice that he was afraid of me, but I didn’t understand why

I didn’t understand why he was acting as if I was a killer

I didn’t understand why he was acting as if I was out to get him

And lastly I didn’t understand why he kept looking at me so strangely

As I kept my steady pace of walking behind him he began to walk faster, and faster

I then decided to cross the street because I didn’t want the little boy to fear me

As I was walking on the other side of the street he began to stare at me even harder

So I decided to stare at him, trying to figure out what he was thinking.

 

As I snapped out of my daydreaming he began to sprint, taking off faster then 100mph

I was amazed, truly

As I stepped into the store I realized that I had forgotten what I was at the store for

So I just left

Went home empty handed, but that was the least of my problems

I still had a weird dilemma that needed to be solved or else I wouldn’t get any sleep

The scene of the little boy grabbing his little brother’s hand and running of f so fast played over repeatedly in my head

 

Who was that little boy?

What did he want from me?

What did he have against me?

A stranger to him…

A Pedestrian just walking to the store not bothering anyone…

 

The only reasons I could think of as an excuse to why he was terrified of me was because either he was trying to protect his little brother or he just thought I was stalking and or following him…

 

I don’t know, and I probably never will but I do wish him and his little brother good luck.
