So earlier today, I (17 M) was out for a walk. A relatively normal walk. I decided to cross this thin wooden bridge- and these 2 30 Y/O-ish guys started to cross behind me.

NO JOKE I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE.

I remember every single thing from that incident. There were sirens in the background, it was really cloudy, the 2 men were mumbling and laughing amongst themselves, and I could hear their footsteps behind me- getting louder and louder as they gained on me. I could keep my composure enough not to run away, but I kept looking over my shoulder at them, I must have looked so weird.

I was so nervous for absolutely no reason. I thought about every last thing they could do to me and how little I could do to stop it. My heart rate must have more than doubled...but I also had to try and look normal, in case it was nothing.

I feel so immensely pathetic right now. I feared for my LIFE over nothing.
