Don’t know if this is the proper channel to share this but needed to share it either way.
Basically I’m a (M23) going out for a late night run. I’m coming back home from said run and it’s 3am. For some context I live in Brooklyn, in a kinda sketchy neighborhood. Not completely dangerous but you gotta pay attention to your surroundings.
I wasn’t at the moment when the incident happened. I was getting lost in my music, speed walking back home when all of a sudden I see a big ass dog started running towards to me, barking and getting in a defensive stance but edging close.
I get nervous as I don’t recognize it from one of my neighbors and all of sudden, the stupid “Safety Tip” animation from the Quarry Game, started playing in my head. The one where it tells you to stay still and hold your breath until the animal goes away. So of course my half asleep but fully scared self decides to follow the quick time event and stay still/holding my breath. This calmed the dog down a bit and got it to stop barking and staying still. Thankfully long enough for its owner to come up and grab their collar. They apologized but I truly didn’t care I just needed to get to my bed.
That’s where I am now and i just felt so silly that I had to share. So hope you enjoy.
