Um, and yet I knew who it was, which is very strange. So I did make a break for it, um, and I went for the side door, and I got out the side.

I've I never parked my car on that side of the building because I had my own parking space on the other side. I do not know what made me park there, don't know why, but I did. And it proved to save my life that night. And, um, you know, today I, I think he's my— I feel like he's my spirit guide and he's with me.
