So, self removal…

I was froze in body but not in motor mouth.
All I could do basically was cuss. I don’t know why except that he had gotten into my space so quick and quietly that my physical (fight/flight) response was behind my verbal abilities.

I don’t even know what he whispered.
All of a sudden he was there and that is the first time in my life I have felt threatened in that manner -so alien!

Thank you for your reply.
