A date with a crazy man

One day I met a man with a bottle of whiskey packed in a brown paper bag in one hand, and a pan in his other hand. I asked him, "what are you doing?" He came to me (Ich wurde sagen "he approached me", oder "he walked up to me"), and looked deep into my eyes.  I thought that he would hit me if I spoke again.  I wanted to run away, but my leg hurt, so (oder "and") I had to stay for the moment.  For a few minutes, it was so quiet that I could hear the ants walking across the street.  It was terrible, and I felt me helpless.  I was afraid (Du hast I'm letzten Satz gesagt "Ich fuhlte mich hilflos", also must du auch nicht sagen "Ich hatte Angst").  His mouth opened slowly, and he laughed loudly into the darkness. My legs began to tremble, and I asked him; "Do you want to kill me?" He closed his eyes and said quietly (Ich wurde diese umschalten "and quietly said"), "NO, ... I forgot my knife. ;-)
