Encounters - Crazy Guy

So I'm early and I decide to walk to work. I'm walking through the park. I'm on the phone with a friend who I played voicemail tag with yesterday. It's a lovely day.

La la laaaa...

Then this man comes up to me and gets right up in my face and screams something at me then starts walking away.

He may have been homeless, or crazy or angry or a combination of all three. I don't know.

In the past, I have frozen solid when threatened like this.

I feel real fright and I physically jump. I feel his extremely negative energy hit me right in the chest, like a punch.

I lower my phone to protect the ears of my friend on the call and yell FUCK OFF at the man's receding back. I can almost see the energy that I throw right back at him, adding my own anger and fear.

He quietly says "Thank you" and keeps walking away.
