I saw him last night!

He was hidden in the dark, covered by bushes’ shadow but I saw him. It was my first time but I knew that it could  happened in London, the city with more murders in the world last year.

The lady’s dog, above me on the second floor, was the first that saw him or just felt him,  I don’t know. Animals have a sixth sense to feel presences..not only human’s one.

He stared at me. He knew that I was looking at him.

My first thought was to call the police; I read an article that a girl was hurt last summer. I thought “if I were out now or I with my daughter” but as quickly as he appeared, he left.

A son of the night. A creature of the dark.

Now it’s a week since I’ve seen him at the window and I’m less worried.. maybe because I’m used to seeing him..at the same time, in the dark after the dog’s barking.

Maybe he thought the same things about me, maybe he was scared! I don’t know but I know it’s my first time that I’ve seen a fox so close in an urban street.
