You are walking with your friend Sue. Then suddenly, you see a store that is supposed to be closed but, it’s not. So, you decide to walk in not knowing that there’s a robber. As, you are walking around you see him stuffing things in his bag. You don’t know what to do. You try to creep away, but he hears you. You two run and get split up. As he’s chasing you, you come to stop in a closed area. He grabs you and ties you up so there’s no way to escape, but what he doesn’t know that Sue is still on the run. (#1) Trying to escape…  You find a pair of scissors close to your foot; you try to reach for them. In the process you knock over some tools, but finally reach the scissors. The robber comes over but not until you have grabbed the scissors. He starts to yell at you and then stormed away. You start hacking at the rope and eventually cut it. Then you hear Sue scream, and you run towards the yell. When you finally arrive you see the robber tying Sue up. You are overwhelmed with rage, you pick up a couple of hammers and a quarter, but before lunging you think, and ask yourself what to do. (#2) Call Sue You call Sue, and then the robber runs to find her. He then sees Sue, and those two come eye to eye. As he is distracted by Sue, you try to direct her so he doesn’t tie her up too. But, it’s too late she’s already stuck and she has nowhere else to go. The robber suddenly grabs her by her hair and drags her to the chair. He ties her up, and then sits down watching them closely. What he doesn’t know is that you have your cell phone behind you trying hard to not let him see it as you try to dial the police. As you start to click on the numbers, he hears it. He gets up and comes closer to you to see if you have anything on you. Shaking with fear, you hide it, and then he doesn’t see nor hear it. Then, he goes back to sit. Out of nowhere, you hear a knock at the door. He tells you not to talk or something bad will happen to you. (#3) You lunge You use the quarter as a distraction, throwing it at the robber. It worked! He gets it to the face and he doubles over in pain. You charge at him, yet he is faster than you have anticipated and he blocks the blow with a cooking pan and then pushes back on you. You fall and right before you do, you throw one of your hammers. When you get back up you see a trail of blood leading to the door and away. Then you here Sue crying, you ask why she is crying. She says between sobs,” I thought you would have died when he pushed you down, I saw blood running out of your head”. At that, you feel your head and notice the warm hard feeling of dried blood, and you ask with a shaken voice. “Sue, how long have I been out”? She says for several minutes. You shake out the image of you lying on the ground and cut Sue out of the ropes. (#4) Call the police You find a quarter on the floor next to a hammer; you pick it up and run to the nearest pay phone. You get there, and you are shaking so much you can’t put the quarter in the slot. Then, you slowly turn around and see that the robber is running towards you. You then turn around get the quarter in the slot dial 9-1-1, but then you don’t know what to do. You see him getting closer and closer and as you start to dial 9-1-1, it looks like everything is closing in and going in slow motion. You suddenly freeze, drop the phone, run out the pay phone booth, and run as far as you can until you find help. As your running, you see no stores, no restaurants, no people, no nothing, you’re stuck with nowhere to go. Then, you hear sirens, the sound keeps getting higher and higher. The police arrive, hand cuffs the robber, and they ask you to tell them everything what happens. Then, you finally feel safe and they drive you home. (#5) Scream loudly You sit still anticipating the moment you will scream. You wait till the loudest moment to slide the scissors to sue and she starts cutting. When she finally gets out you sharply give her a look that she seems to understand, run. She scoops up the quarter and silently walks out the back door. Right then your chance comes, they are all in silence you scream as loud as your lungs allow there is a moment of confusion than footsteps, rapidly growing louder and louder. You hear a gun cock and something about a cover being blown. You hear the gun shoot and you black out because of the pain. When you wake up you feel pain at your waist but it is distant. You get up but you can’t so you just look around and you see that is a hospital. A doctor comes in and tells you what happened. You find out that you are paralyzed from the waist down but you still live. He asks if your visitor can come in and when you say yes Sue come running to you, face full of tears. (#6) Sit and listen to him <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Bell MT','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> You decide to sit and listen to him because; you think he will harm you if you don’t. So you and Sue sit there waiting and waiting for the person that is knocking on the door to notice you. Suddenly, the knocking stops and the person walk away. The robber then comes over to you two, and pats you guys on the head and says, “Good job, now no harm will come your way”. You were thankful that you listened to yourself so, you wouldn’t get hurt. You’re startled, because Sue screams aloud, “I’m hungry!” Then you take up for Sue and say, “Yeah you robber, if you hold us hostage then you have to feed us or we will die from starvation”. He finally gets up to search around the store to get you some chips or something. When he comes back to give them to you, he tries to feed you by hand. You let him feed you, and then he tells you he’ll let you go if you promise not to tell anything that happened. You promise, and then he finally releases you and you’re free at last.
