UMBRELLA MAN

Hello everyone – yes, I'm back again, with another story. With someone like me, it actually isn't very surprising that I'll have more than one story to post on this site (which may not be a good thing). Now, this story is not exactly terrifying but it is very strange. It's a little different and may seem a bit odd, as there is someone indirectly involved with this that not many people know about. That's my younger brother, my really younger brother. The reason why I'm mentioning him is because of the part he unknowingly plays in this.
I was a teenager when this happened, and was on my way home from school. Yes, I did attend school for a while (which may explain a lot on its own), and I remember this afternoon really well because it was right after my physical education class, which was kept outdoors anyway. I had no problem taking the bus home on my own (my school was in the city), and before this day, nothing strange had really happened. When I got to my bus stop, I found out that, somehow, I had missed my bus. And, on top of that, the rain suddenly began to fall out of nowhere.
Just perfect, right? I actually said "Oh, hell no, in THIS weather?" This is where my brother's relevance to the story comes in. I, luckily, had an umbrella with me, but it was his umbrella I had borrowed. It had a very popular cartoon character on it, Spiderman I believe it's called (I wasn't into cartoons much and thought it was kind of stupid). So, with my bus already gone, I decided I'd just take another bus from another stop. I was well acquainted with this area so it wasn't an issue. As I was making my way there, literally after taking just ten steps, a man comes out from nowhere and stops me. He looked like he was about his mid-forties, slightly fat and shirtless with his shirt hanging over his shoulder and wearing a pair of shorts. I don't know if this would sound strange to you all, but he looked like he could have been someone's father.
It wasn't exactly the winter time when everything would get pretty cold, but I was feeling a bit chilly, even after doing the PE exercises, so seeing him dressed like that really surprised me – he was just smiling at me. Then, in a well-mannered tone he said "Excuse me, may I take a photo of you with that umbrella?" I'm not even joking, that is what he said to me. I, not knowing what to say, politely declined his strange request. I had to stay at that stop, however, because that was the only other stop that would have a bus to take me the rest of the way home. So I stayed, not moving until the bus finally arrived. And the weird man? He was still there, taking pictures of the sea and other things; I actually thought that he'd try to ask his weird question again, but no, he left me alone the rest of the time I was there.
When I got home, I told my dad about what happened. He, being the concerned father he was, questioned me a bit just to be sure I was okay. I know this isn't a very scary story but it was just so weird and random that I had to share it. Anyway, weird picture-taking sir, I have no idea what you wanted a picture with me and the umbrella for, and I honestly don't want to know either, and am very upset about it. So, let's not meet.
Thanks again, Dee-Dee! The other story would be up later tonight, and then I'll close off. See ya!
