subway to get to work and it was 6:10am. As I crossed the street, a car made a dead stop in the middle of the intersection, honked at me, a low voice yelled “hey baby” and then the car drove off. It all happened in about 45 seconds and then it was over. But really it wasn’t. I went from groggy and under caffeinated to terrified, filled with adrenaline and still under caffeinated. I walked faster, kept my head down and eyes alert checking my surroundings every few steps a little on edge.
