Fear

My parents were visting me here in Sweden and went home on saturday 2.45 in the morning. I could not leave them leave alone so inspite of the late hour I went with them to the bus station and then back home alone (biking). The town was pretty lively. Many groups and individuals outside. My presence in the night town was commented by a small whistle or some small comments from total strangers and I was afraid. All the people had something in common. All of them were drunk. I did not really like the feeling of insecurity like I felt for those 3 – 5 minutes of biking. For me it was just few minutes of fear and rational understanding that nothing can happen to me – I was sober having my body and mind under control and I had bike to escape if neccessary. In spite of that I did not feel safe untill I came home. What about those who have this at home? Every day?
