I was walking down a back alley.
It was dark, and the houses on my left were elevated.
The backyard grounds were thus at my waist level.
Suddenly out of the bushes next to me, a huge dog sprang at me, barking aggressively.
It's teeth were at the same level as my face.
I instinctively jumped back, and screamed back at it.
I'm not sure if I screamed in shock or retaliation, but it was probably a bit of both.
I noticed my right arm was instinctively poised to strike with a tightly clenched fist.
I stopped realising that there was a fence between the two of us, though we were less than a meter apart.
The adrenaline lasted me through the party that night.
