I was at this gig, but after four or five drinks I started to feel like a couldn't stomach being around other humans. I ended up walking for miles in a random direction and when I stumbled upon a train station in Mount Lawley I decided to catch the train home.
At about two in the morning I was almost home and I suddenly found myself confronted by three abos who were asking for money and smokes. They were being demanding, but not overly aggressive, and I was having trouble judging their intentions, one thing I wasn't gonna do is give them a cent and I told them so.
I had a set of telescopic nunchukas in the leg pocket of the camos I was wearing and I had slipped them into my sleave when I saw them coming. They were a gift from a mate, telescoping tubular steel and they flick out to full extension with the first swing, very nasty. My adrenaline was surging and I was trying to make up my mind whether to attack quick and take one or two out before they had a chance to move or to just ride it out by verbal hostility, but I was within seconds of just going for broke. Again, they weren't really saying or doing anything threatening, I just felt a sense of menace.
Just when it seemed inevitable, they seemed to suddenly all just relax and their demeanor changed. They became all friendly, said goodnight and wandered off. One of them even insisted on shaking my hand.
That did my head in, man I don't understand abos one bit. Can anyone explain this behavior to me?
