backward walking champion

I turned the corner coming out of the elevator on my floor to encounter a boy walking briskly backward and behind the boy facing me a linebacker. The boy will crash into me.

"beep beep"

The boy spun around and froze in his tracks staring up at me stopped mute apparently horrified. The linebacker and I exchange pleasantries. The boy looks on.  I think that I might be the white man the boy is warned about. It's a guess. I don't know. He behaves that way. I sense they warn the boy about people like me to keep him behaved because he freezes mute like that whenever he sees me. I always interrupt a good time.

Now we cannot have that. 

That walking backward really is impressive. That takes a good deal of skill. I cannot do it myself. Walking backward is my worst physical feat now it takes an insane amount of concentration. That was very good show-off-y practice that I interrupted.
