How would you react if I told you that I just walked past a dead body?
Are you joking right now? Why would you mention that?
Well, I actually did see one before and I'm nervous about being outside alone right now. I want someone to walk with me.
Oh, wow that sounds scary. I completely understand why you might feel that way after seeing a dead body. Did the police come?
Thanks for understanding. I didn't call the cops though; I just ran home.
Yeah, running home is an understandable reaction. Seeing a dead body sounds like it would be really unsettling. I will say though that you should have called the cops just to be safe.
