This is something scary that happened to me on New Year's Eve of 2013.

That night I had accompanied a few friends to a restaurant club downtown for a New Year's

party.

I've been feeling a little under the weather all day, but met them at the club regardless.

About 15-till midnight I couldn't kid myself any longer and let them all know I was heading

home.

The parking lot was very dark, so my pulled a small flashlight I carried with me out of

my pocket and used it to light my path.

As I turned the corner of the building I caught notice of a noise off to my left between

two parked cars.

When I reached the area I showed my lights onto the location of the noise and saw a man

crouched over on the ground.

I asked him if he needed help with something.

Partly from my suspicion and he said yes.

He claimed he had dropped his keys and couldn't find them in the dark and asked if I could

shine my light over to where he was to help find them.

Everything about the situation seemed legit so I put my fears aside and began helping him.

I crouched down next to him while we searched the area under the car.

A few minutes passed and we were still unable to locate the keys.

Switching places with the man I aimed the beam further up and under the next car.

Doing this cosming the lean down further than I had to at that point.

This is when I felt a hard crack against the back of my head.
