276. My home town where a quiet Sunday stroll means keeping your wits about you.

The Route – Cowan’s to Smith’s. The red circle area is the site of this Short Memory.

Sunday walking alone to Smithies*

Passing Penrith High School

3 others appear:

1 walking 25 yards behind me
2 across the road, about 25 yards apart.

Odd.

They all quicken a bit,

Formation stable.

Across the road,

Lead walker, moves ahead of me.

Suddenly they charge,

3-way attack.

Target: ME!!

The red X’s are the three aggressors. That’s Me in yellow.

Pulse races.

I race.

Evasion successful.**

Notes:

* Smithies – That’s Paul Smith’s place at 63 Parker St.

** I evaded these guys, and ended up in the spot 2 of them came from (across the road), near the water tank. I sprinted into one of the houses. When I came out they were gone … all that was left were the thongs I’d been wearing and accelerated out of.
