It was late in the day yet he had his wrap around sun glasses on. I did not recognize him at first.. squarer body and his face had hardened. At first the angry scowl on his face and the tension in body hit me as odd. Then it occurred to me it was deliberate attempt to be menacing. It didn’t work I nodded my head in a “how ya doing kinda way”. He continued toward me and came to the curb and kicked the electric box then turned back and walked away.
It all started years ago i used to see a younger thinner version of him walking about the neighborhood. I commented to a friend about always seeing him taking a constitutional. “Ray you smuck he’s doing drug deals he’s an addict” a few weeks later the mrs and I came around the corner and there he was - i saw the exchange.
Another few weeks and I was walking past the house and there was a new big home safe box out for the trash. Finally when i was on at out of town job the mrs ran into him at 11pm taking the dog for the last walk one foggy night. He was on the phone. There was repeat of that a few weeks later mid day. I called the police they chased him. His father and i had words but our discussion ended amicably.
I talked to a neighbor and the poor family has had one tragedy after another. Ill not let it affect my much needed walks..I feel bad for the dad he seemed like a regular guy.
