The journey into the darkness

How often you walk on the footways between the bushes and the highway with no lights, in the dark, for about a kilo-meter? Do you get scared? I do :) I walk at least once in a week like this. It is not that I like to walk but I have to. It is hard to walk on the uneven path. I have to be very careful about my steps as a single misstep could cause an injury that would take a week to heal. A little stick lying at a distance making a moving feel because of the shadows of different lengths caused by the speeding vehicle lights would make me pause for a second. I always wanted to be extra cautious on that as I tend to fear of snakes when I go near the bushes. Perhaps, my parents taught ;) me so in my childhood days. How about people? Drunkards: If the drunkard is a old man, I am no longer afraid of him. I am confident that at least I can outrun him. It is still a bother, if I have to pass a group of youths taking alcohol. I walk with the hope that they don't call me or come near me.
