Well it could be both! I think I expressed this badly but I was trying to say I think the dog was just some random dog and she only said it was her Nans to try and put him off. Dogs tend to attack people who attack their owners/friends, right? Best not to try anything then. Note she never said it was hers. If she said it was hers, there is a risk he might expect her to call it. Well it would ignore her of course as it was nothing to do with her!I think Frank having some sort of Psychological episode is more believable than Nicola just leaving her dog in the Water and meeting a guy on a lonely path from out of nowhere.
Likewise, meeting the biker on the path is also explainable. If he was a friend of hers and they had gone there together, she would know roughly where he was and head for him. It is what most people would do if they were worried for their safety. Telling Frank to get lost is not really a great option. He might indeed get lost. Or he might become aggressive. She doesn't know which as he is a stranger to her. Keep him talking till she gets to safety is the best plan. Being accosted by a strange man in a secluded place can be frightening. Especially if he seems persistent. You don't know what he wants. He even considers this at one point, just before they meet the biker but concludes that he is in danger instead.
Oh I am sure he hasn't made anything up and that it was genuinely strange.I have allway thought that there was a dream like quality to the experince. Frank hasn't mentioned anything to me about having any seizures like this before or after. One thing is for certain, Frank wasn't looking for this experience, and it isn't something that he made up, it is a genuine strange event that happened to him on that day that has left him more than a little bewildered. I have been meaning to ask someone in the field of psychology and brain chemistry if there is anything that could have created the experiences that Frank had witnessed on that day.
I could be wrong of course, I don't know one way or the other and I wasn't there*. I am just saying that Nicola's seemingly inexplicable behaviour can be easily explained if you just look at it from her point of view. Nicola and the biker vanishing is the most inexplicable part but it still could possibly be accounted for by some sort of minor seizure. They do happen.
*or was I? Bwahahaha!
