*Im sitting alone on a park bench, waiting for public transportation to get home, a book in my hand. I’m not reading, but it’s an excellent means to detour anyone that might approach me. My eyes shift back and forth, scanning my surroundings. I spot you and I begin to panic, burying myself in my book. You sit next to me, playing a game on your phone. I try to stay calm and ignore my danger signals*
