TIFU by choosing the open road

I am currently visiting my family in another city and it just so happened that there is some nice dental clinic in which I decided to have an appointment. To go there, I chose a quicker route which had a big open area on its way. While there I suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming closer. It is important to add that I am Ukrainian, the city is front-line and that buzzing was a drone on its merry way to kill someone. I can’t describe it other than bone deep terror, being stranded there in the middle of the road with nothing but chest high fences around with my only thought being that I didn’t want to die so abruptly. Luckily, there was some small building I could hide behind (not without falling on my way there). Once it flew over my l quickly started to stumble to the more narrow place but then that thing turned back! Well, at least now I was a bit closer to relative security and after some running I took shelter under the bigger building, waited out and went to the clinic. In hindsight, I probably only lived because I wasn’t the most appetising target and was left with just a bit of a psychological trauma and a sore knee?

TL;DR: Almost died to drone because I have chosen an open road

P.S.: I hope it fits this sub I didn’t know which one would suit better? I hope my English was comprehensible enough
