For some reason, it didn't bother me - and I really, as I write this, am surprised. I guess I got over that the night I was followed down center street by a deeply malevolent presence, a man who caught sight of me - only around nine thirty at night, and then dogged me path from about twenty feet behind for blocks. I was headed for a place that would have been dangerous - I had to pass an empty block, only a park there, with big trees - and then make a long walk up a deserted drive.<br /><br />So I stopped and turned around and walked back, deliberately passing the man so I could look at him. Then I went up to a house and knocked on the door. The people who lived there were plagued with threatening calls for months after they'd called the police, who took both me and another girl who was passing, home.<br /><br />I think my favorite light is dawn.
