Have I posted this here before? It’s probably my favorite riddle. All riddles more than welcome!
A man is running home when he sees a masked man running towards him, carrying an (identifiable) object in his hand. At this time, the (unmasked) man turns around and runs back in the direction he came from. What’s the masked man holding in his hand?

I feel this is kind of abstract like the riddles in that hobbit film with Bilbo and Gollum. {Spoiler}the sun and its shadow? |

No… Nothing so—obviously threatening, let’s say… |

{Spoiler}
Grim reaper holding a scythe? Yes it's technically a weapon but it's actually a farming tool
If not that, is the masked man a normal, everyday person

No…
@bizarro, no fears, it’s not too in the weeds at all. In fact, it’s refers to something everyone will definitely know…
