The Man

I would like to warn the inhabitants of Chagrin Falls of a shady character.   All should be aware.  I do not scare easily, so do not view this as a exaggeration.  I pride myself on my love of scary movies and shows, such as Criminal Minds, but in all honesty this man frightens me.  He lurks the streets in a threatening fashion.  He may walk daily, but I only see him on weekends because his typical walking time is 12:30.  Who goes for a stroll at 12:30 am? Only this man.  He prowls the streets in all black, not just a jacket, but head to toe black, as if up to some deplorable behavior.  He never makes any effort to get out of the way of cars that drive past him and when the car swerves dangerously around him, he does not even crack a thankful smile or offer a friendly wave.  In his late-twenties, early thirties, I do not know where he lives and never see him out at a normal time.  I do not know his intentions but I question them to say the least.  I generally see him walking on two streets; North Main Street and Falls Road.  I live on Kenton Road, which connects the two.  Although it makes sense for him to walk on my street I never see him on it.  I subconsciously blocked out the possibility of him even walking on it because of the fear it caused me.  But tonight that changed.  As I came home from musical rehearsal I saw something moving near my mailbox and as I got closer I realized it was the man, dressed in black, walking in front of my driveway.  I have never before seen him out at such an early time.  I immediately sped into my driveway once he passed and ran into my house as fast as possible.   Reflecting on it now, I realize I should have driven past the house to throw him off to where I live but the moment has passed.  Do not fear though, I am safe for the time being.  I do not know why he walked so early tonight, or where he may go next, or what he may do, but do not take this lightly.  Prepare yourselves and watch out for this ominous character.  That is all.
