*Not a true story*
I was home alone because my father was always taking the night shifts. When I sat in the couch and watched TV, I heard a knocking at my door. “My dad would not get home until 1 in the morning.” I was thinking. There was coming another knock at the door. “What should I do?” I locked the door, ran up the stairs to my room, and locked the door. I heard the gate at my back yard was opening and closing, and then I heard a knocking at my backdoor.
5 minutes later, I heard the window downstairs was breaking. I heard the person was looking inside all the rooms downstairs, moments later I heard he was stumping up the stairs, and they stopped right outside my door. I saw the door handle was starting to twist, my heart was now raising. Then I was ramming his shoulder at the door, I saw the door starting to give up.
I was planning to jump out the window at my room. I opened the window and tried to jump in to the hedge, to cushion the fall. “I made it.” Was I thinking.
I saw up at the window I saw the man was staring down at me. There are miles to my next neighbor. So I ran straight into the woods, I stopped after I had run a mile. Then I noticed I had my cellphone in my pocket, I called the police and said it was a bugler in my house. The police officer said the police will get there in 10 minutes then he asked me where I was, I said I was in the woods.
Then I heard footsteps behind me. “I must end the phone call her.” I said to the police officer. I ran so long to reach the highway, if I was lucky can I see the police car, I saw the red and blue colors blinking in the trees. “Thanks god.” Was I thinking, I waved to the car and it stopped. The police officer rolled down his window and said. “Is it you which had a burglar in your house?” “Yes I said to the officer.” “Jump in the car.” He said. “Where was the last place did you see the man?” The officer asked me. “He was running after me, in the woods right here!” I said. “Where do you live, and where are your parents?” He said. “I live 2 miles that way, I said to the police officer. 2 months later and man is not found yet. My father is now only working day shifts.
