An Unfortunate Encounter I am working as a nurse on shift basis, I live nearby and it is just ten minutes walk to my workplace. Wednesday has always been the operation day in my department and I am on afternoon shift that is 2pm-9pm, another busy and long day for me. But that particular Wednesday, I finished work later than usual, I bid goodbye to my friends and took off quickly. I am worn out and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I never walked home that late and I am worried about my safety. Having walked pass the junction, I could see a few hundred meters in front of me a psycho guy that has been wandering around the neighborhood ever since I live here. I have encountered him a couple of times, he didn't cause any disturbance but as a safety precaution I crossed the road trying to avoid him. As I looked up, he was crossing the road too and the worst thing he was coming towards me. "Whatta heck". I didn't give it a second thought, I turned around and started to run until I reached my workplace, panting. It had been a while since my last run and thanks to the psycho guy I've done my running in a remarkable time. I called my brother to come and picked me up and I reached home safely.
