The story is super simple but I’m lost for words.

So a couple of hours ago I went to have a walk along the seaside (I live super close by). Today is super stormy and rainy, so there’re hardly any people around. I’m walking on a long pier that has only point of entry from the beach, and then it stretches into the sea.

I’m going back just by myself, and then I see a guy wearing a black sports jacket running. I notice him distinctly because I thought to myself how crazy he was to run in such crazy weather. So he’s passing me by while I’m walking close to the end of the pier.

And suddenly, I see a guy passing by and running back to the beach with a bright GREEN jacket on. I immediately feel super startled. I clearly remember that the only guy I saw at the pier was the one in the black jacket. And there was no one else there. I thought I might just mix things up, and that maybe, just maybe that first guy was wearing a green jacket lol. So as he runs away from the pier, I turn my head back expecting not to see anyone at the far end of the pier. But there he was, the guy in the black jacket!! The moment I saw him, my mouth just dropped and I got shivers. What the heck?

I’m absolutely, 100% sure that there was no one else at the pier except me and the guy in the black jacket. How where did this guy in the green jacket pop up from? I even went again along the pier to see whether it has some extra-exits I didn’t know exist, which was stupid because it stretches into the open sea haha. But still.

So I guess I could have seen an NPC, or at least there was some weird and trivial glitch in the matrix. No crazy stuff, just a guy that appeared out of nowhere.
