the high/drunk old man at the park

okay, I just realized I never told this story and it happened like last summer so quite a bit ago. 

okay so me and my friend, K, planned out hanging out this one summer. we were gonna get pizza and go to a park and just hang out (we hang out at parks a lot lol cuz there's like 5 near by)

anyway, we meet up at my house, grab the pizza, and head our way. we decided to try the hidden park (just a nickname, all of the park names are gonna be nicknames) and see if anyone was there. so we walked for awhile till we reached it. there was a mom and like 3 toddlers there, and we're not the most appropriate with jokes (we're teenagers what do you expect lol) and we have social anxiety so we decided to leave and see if the yellow park was busy. 

we walked back and headed there. when we reached there, there was this old man, straw hat, head down, sitting at one of the tables. we at first were gonna just eat on the field grass, but I looked at him again and saw that he kinda got closer to where we were, sitting on a bench near us. I got a bad feeling and asked K if she just wanted to try the dino park, she said ya and we quickly got up to head that direction down the road path. 

we reach there, its empty like usual and we think we're good. we sit down and start eating, talking, and just joking with each other. it was a fun good time. until HE popped around the corner. 

so my back was facing opposite of him, so I didn't see him coming. but K did. I saw the expression on her face and turned immediately. it was the same old dude from before. he just looked at us, smiled and said "hi". and like I was obviously weirded out, but maybe he lived in one of the houses is what I thought since this park is behind a neighborhood. but no! instead he turns back around and walks back. and mind you this dude had like a limp and wasn't really a fast walker yet it took him like 5-8 minutes till he was right there. so im obviously weirded out and turn to K who has a different expression on her face. I was confused until she said 

"did you see his eyes? they were red. like, if he was high red"

I was facing the opposite way and didn't get a good look at him so I didn't notice that. that's really when I also remembered how he kinda stumbled around in an almost drunk fashion, not like he had a bad hip or leg or something. it was weird.

 I was scared that he was just behind the corner, waiting. but that's when people started to show up and we felt a bit more at ease. he wasn't hiding, he actually left. we finished then left quickly to the hidden park again which was empty. I didn't see him that night again. but it still weirds me out. we are two teen girls, by ourselves, and he looked high/drunk and was an old man. he could have been totally innocent, idk, it was just weird
