Walking in the dark

W hile we were dating, I was working at a drug store called Dart Drug which was then bought out by another company and it was renamed, Fantle's Drug. The store was in a shopping center called Hilltop Plaza which was right across from White Marsh Woods. Eric grew up playing in those woods. Sometimes he would come to "pick me up" after work. He only had a bicycle, the car was not running. So, he would walk to the store and wait until I got off work and then walk me back to my sister's house on Kilbourne Lane or to the house where I moved to from my sister's house. I was terrified of walking in the woods at night after work, but Eric was unfazed and would tell me to relax and that my eyes would adjust after a few moments to the dark. I was imagining ghosts lurking all over the woods and Eric would look at me funny when I mentioned that and then keep walking. Being terrified, I would run after him and try to keep up, so I wouldn't be attacked by a ghost! Eric was almost fearless. The only thing in life he was afraid of was death.
