Near Danger Experience!

I’ve lived downtown for several years now, and while I had never heard of friends who also lived downtown being in danger, I always carried protection.  I had a canister of pepper spray foam in my backpack, and it had remained there unused for a couple years.  One night I was walking to my car, which is just across the street from I work, and as I was walking in the parking lot, I noticed two men walking with purpose towards me from two different directions.  For whatever reason, it was clear to me what was about to happen.  I reached in my backpack and pulled out the pepper spray foam and as soon as I had it in my hands the men veered off and went the other direction. 

I could feel my heart beating in my chest, and while I’ll never know if it was their intention to harm me, it felt great to have protection available to me when I needed it.
