POV: You moved to a fairly nice and quiet town and you work in a small shop and you have a few regular customers, usually elderly people.

One day a very tall man comes to the store and he buys some fairly normal equipment like we are in the mountains like ropes and some tools and he looks you straight in the eye but you avoid his gaze a little embarrassed you've never seen him before but he comes back more and more often looking you up and down and looking at you from all angles discreetly which you find intimidating.

He comes back every day and he is quite mysterious and does not speak

One day as he picks up the hammer, screws and ropes that he put on the counter he looks you straight in the eye and says in a deep, hoarse voice You have pretty hands~ He says with a smirk on his face.With his large, rough hands he grabs the items he bought and leaves

Months go by , he gives you some slightly creepy compliments and he even tries to invite you to meet him in the forest but you are suspicious so you refuse all the time, finding credible excuses so as not to upset him

And that night, during a freezing night your boss told you to close the store because he had to leave early to surprise his wife so you accepted and it was very normal that during the winter there was ice or snow which made it difficult to move but as you were leaving the store and closing it

You couldn't see anything as it was dark so you turned on the light on your phone and you felt someone watching you and you pointed the light in the direction and you saw the man approaching you with a hammer and you ran towards your car but the door was stuck by the ice which was blocking you managed to open it but it took you some time and in the rearview mirror you saw him coming

What are you going to do? Run away or try to negotiate with him?
