"Keep calm. Don't run from this" I thought to myself as I strutted down the town square. "Don't look at anyone. Just keep your head down, and no one will bother you."

Walking in town is terrifying when all anyone wants to do is run up to you. It scares the shit out of me.

"Look! Everyone! It's Courtney!" shouts a nearby pedestrian.

All I thought was "Fuck.... now I'm in real trouble." I ran. as fast as my legs would carry me towards my grandmother's home in the woods. the townspeople ran after me. when I got to the trail just near the first trees, I twisted my left ankle and crashed into a tree.
