It was a normal sunny afternoon
I was sitting on a bench, trying to embrace the golden rays

It was so silent that I could even hear the wind blowing
I was enjoying my solitude

Then I noticed a man looking at me
He had white hair, and was covered in wrinkles

The old man wearing a blue jeans and a red jacket -
came and sat next to me

I didn’t care until it happened
It happened!

It took me two seconds to realise -
what he was doing

I was shocked!
I was frozen!

A scream got stuck in my throat
Lucky are the ones who could scream
