A Twist of Fate
One glorious warm sunny afternoon an incident occurred, that but for a twist of fate, could have been life changing or even meant an eventual end of life.
A husband and wife with an accompanying female friend were walking on the pavement of a high street, talking happily when out from nowhere, a tall well built young man stepped forward between the two ladies. Totally ignoring the husband, loudly the stranger remarked to one of the ladies that she was beautiful. The wife who had been walking on the inside of the pavement and was indeed strikingly attractive, was of course thrown by the boldness of the comment. Immediately the lady friend replied with delight that it had been many years since she had the pleasure of receiving such a compliment and turned to carry on a conversation with her supposed new admirer. The lady friend was taller and inadvertently just by trying to continue the conversation had become a physical barrier, all though only for a moment, to the intended target of the attractive beautiful wife. It was at that precise moment that a dark colour car appeared, travelling at walking pace, with the rear passenger door wide open and inside were three more young men. One of the young men was hanging outside the open door and indicating to his walking friend to get a move on and get in the car. At the same time as this incident, the husband and wife who had carried on walking, were by this point several yards away from the lady friend and the supposed admirer. It was with this new alteration to their physical positions that the suspicious admirer decided the situation had become impossible and sprinted off to the slowly moving car whereupon he jumped into the back seat and the car sped off.
The lady friend carried on chatting, completely unaware of what had just happened, and in a bizarre way the husband and wife needed time to talk about the potential consequences of the failed kidnapping that had just taken place. Once in the back seat of the car, it was believed that the intended target of the deliberate distract and grab, the strikingly beautiful wife would have been forced into submission or drugged, incapable of resistance.
There are many seemingly mundane or even everyday scenarios which can all too easily turn into unexpected potentially harmful predicaments. It is for this reason that it could well be wise to rest on the side of caution, and be aware or alert to what could other than with a twit of fate, become a very unappealing prospect.
