Normally I would have been more cautious but the alcohol has loosened my inhibitions. Suddenly, he asked if I would like to come over to his house and see some of his work. He was an engineer and seemed to specialize in all kinds of advanced machines.īy now I had had 4 beers (he insisted on buying the last 2) and was feeling kind of drunk. At some point we were discussing hobbies and he mentioned robots- specifically how he liked to make them. He was friendly enough I found him quite interesting. After a few minutes, he came down started talking to me. He wasn't in bad shape, probably in his late 40's with a goatee, brown eyes and a sturdy figure. An older man was sitting just down from me, and I noticed he was eyeing me. It was pretty quiet inside as I sat and ordered a beer. It was the day after my 21st birthday, I was finally old enough to drink! It was early in the evening, so I decided to walk down a few blocks to a neighborhood bar.
