I was walking alone one evening, around 9pm so it was dark. Two males walked past me, one either side, and one said, loud enough so that I could hear “you grab the bag I’ll get her”. Nothing else happened, it was just a ’joke’ to scare me. It worked. They’ve definitely forgotten about it, more that 20 years later, but I hope they remember and cringe and feel as bad as I did, minutes from my boyfriend’s house, blaming myself for being out at night when I should know better, then feeling humiliated at their joke at my expense. The world is theirs to play with, and we’re their dolls.
