Unable to Escape the Danger of Running


Reminds of this time I went running on this red clay parkway, in Augusta, GA, by the railroad tracks.  After my run, I walked over to this 100 foot cliff to check it out while I cooled down.  I notice this truck parked close by and this guy sitting in it.  This place was definitely off the grid but it was a nice play to run without any cars.  As I stared down the cliff I heard the door of the truck open—the truck was parked about a 100 yards from me and underneath a tree.  The guy got out and began walking towards me.  I’m no judge, but he fit the bill for a perverted child/woman abductor.  I think he started talking to me but I didn’t pay him any attention.  I believe he thought I was a woman from behind because I had long hair so he made his move.  As I began to walk away, I started hearing these weird bird calls coming from him, and as I turned to look, he was just staring at me with empty eyes.  As I proceeded my walk, thoughts began to race in my head,  had he murder/raped people out here before and thrown them off that cliff, because I had heard of people who had falling off the cliff to their death in the years before.   Just a short tale about the hidden dangers of exercising.
