Context: This past winter I was sitting on my porch at 4am (couldn't sleep). Suddenly, out of the dark, came this tall bulky figure, dressed totally in black. My heart skipped as I tried to figure out what to do - I'm in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: I had a rather unnerving experience this past winter. Being unable to sleep at 4am, I went outside for a cigarette (I live in an apartment complex). Suddenly, out of the darkness, appeared a tall bulky figure dressed in black. They were coming straight at me!
Speaker 2: What did they or the person do to you?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm in a wheelchair, so can't move too quickly. I just sat looking at them, trying to figure out whether I could reach the broom at the corner of the porch.
Speaker 2: Broom would be a good choice, hit them in the crotch, that will stop them.
Speaker 1: Well, that would have been an option. The person came right up to my porch and said "Good morning. Can't sleep either?" It was my friend and neighbor walking her dog and I didn't recognize her with all her winter gear on. Scared the daylights out of me!
