The Guy

I was strolling down the lane on a dusky evening, when i stumbled upon
this guy. The guy was as thin as pole and tall as a pole. I looked up
on him and said
 "Sorry sir, Good Evening"
 I had expected some sort of reply but none came other than the
whisper of the evening wind.
 I looked up at him briefly. This guy was dressed in black from top to
bottom and had this strange halo. His hands were legs were so covered
that they could hardly be distinguished.
 "Are you OK, sir?"
 I asked in desperation but still no answer. I got angrier with myself
being rebuffed like that. I bade him good bye and continued with my
stroll. I looked back and he still stood there. For the first time I
saw his eyes. In the dark, they were burning with a strange aura.
 He was standing still, rooted to his place, looking at me, eyes
fixed. A shudder ran through my spine.
 I started walking briskly. What came next, made my jaw to drop open.
 I had just gone a few yards from the spot when I found him again
standing still.
 "Really sir, there's no need to apologize" I approached him with a
wave of my hat.
 I was greeted with that strange eerie silence. He was looking at me,
eyes fixated. My heart skipped a beat.
 I had already started jogging. A few yards and he again came into my
view.
 "I am being stalked" I thought to myself.
 This time i started running. And still I found him to outrun me.
There ahead of me again, that same guy is standing. Cold sweat broke
through. I could hear my heart beat. I mustered my courage and made a
dash for my home which was just a corner and a block away. I ran with
all my might.
 I turned round the corner, jumped a bush, disturbed a cat and
disorganized a lady. I reached the confines of my home. Took out my
keys, opened the door and slammed it close in one swift movement.

 I buckled down under the exhaustion and stooped to catch my breath. I
drank a glass of water and recollected the happenings of this evening
and thought to myself
 "I am SAFE now."
