>>2220926I am from Munich, but I was sent to France for work. It was landscaping and involved alot of digging and setting up planks for support. I didn't have a knife at the time, but work supplied me a shovel so I would have to chop with it when I needed thread cut. I used wire cutters for metal, but the tool was low in supply for replacement so I used it only for wire not string.
It was late at night and it was my job to clean up some messed up wire that some wolves got snagged on. I was wearing thick leather gloves so I wouldn't get caught on the wire, my head was low in mud trying to pull a stake out when I heard it
a loud whine and a low speaker started shouting in the distance, from where we set up camp. Then a few whistles started blaring, and then shouting. I was on my back cutting this wire, so I had to awkwardly shuffle to get out. By the time I did, there was this guy wearing a blue coat covered in mud. He was running at me, wearing a mask but this was like a hundred years before the coronavirus mandate so I didn't know why. As I stumbled backwards, I started choking.
Right before he got to me, his leg got stuck in the wire I was working on. He fell over from the inertia of running and the snag. I grabbed my shovel.
He was speaking french, he was a threat.
I finished my work and returned to camp that morning.
