Day 0 -

I had the strangest day. I was walking to my car after a long, merciless evening at work. A man, several feet away, catches my attention... heading in my direction... he moves slow... disorient... maladroit. I thought to myself, "This fellow is undoubtedly drunk." and I quietly giggled to myself. I take my keys to unlock my car door... and... do you ever have that feeling that you think someone is standing right behind you? Breathing anxiously down your neck? I get my keys ready in a tight grip in my fist... with my car key prepped to be used as a weapon... just to be safe, you know? I turn, and that man was standing right there. He simply just stared at me. Slouching and moaning. The first thing I noticed were his eyes... they were lifeless and bloodshot. The sight of this man sent chills down my achy spine. I shot him an insincere, pathetic looking grin, quickly turned around and proceeded to let myself into my vehicle. Then, what happened next is beyond me... the man suddenly lunged at me, savagely sinking his teeth right into my neck, my "sternocleidomastoid" to be more specific. It was the most unbearable pain I have ever endured. I somehow managed to finagle my way out of his strong, penetrating bite. With the strength I had, I pushed him... he fell to the ground. I hurtled myself into my car... plummeting onto the seat. I could feel my wound spew crimson. I began to let out this explosive cry... out of pain, out of harm, and out of fear. I had grabbed my disgusting work uniform to use as a tourniquet. I sped to the nearest emergency room. I cannot believe I survived this. I am so thankful to be alive.
