The sun shone mercilessly on my back while I trudged back home from school. When I came out of the lift, unusual noises attracted my attention. I walked towards it and saw two men standing outside my neighbour’s flat. At that point in time, I still could not make out what they were doing. But after taking a closer look, I knew exactly what in the world they were doing. They were actually struggling with the door! They wanted to break in! I was terribly shocked. It was then that I had the idea of stopping them. How could I stand her and let the robbers break into my neighbour’s flat? But then I hesitated. Questions mushroomed in my mind. Who am I to stop them? I am not armed with any sort of weapons what if they have guns, or even knives? Suddenly, I heard the sound of people breaking into a flat. Oh no I thought. They must have broken into my neighbour’s flat! I could not hesitate any longer. I called for the police using a public phone at the void deck of my block. Next, I went into my neighbour’s flat and tried to stop them from escaping by distracting them. “Stop what you are doing now!” I shouted at the two robbers. They turned around and saw me.They shoot me a stern look. Then I had the shock of my life. One of them took out a pistol and he aimed at me. I felt like an idiot at that point in time. I should have just called the police and waited for them to come! But it was too late, I had no choice but to stand there and wait for the police to come. “I’m going to shoot you if u don’t go out right now,” said the other robber. He pointed the pistol at me and got ready to shoot me. I felt very frightened at that time and when he was about to shoot, I heard the sirens of the police car. The robbers were scared. They called me to move away but I refused as I knew the policemen were about to come and arrest them. “Move away now!” the two robbers shouted. I still refused. “I’m asking you the last time. Are you moving away?” I still refused. Then, he pointed the pistol at me and was about to shoot. Suddenly, the policemen rushed in! They arrested the two robbers and commented me for my quick reaction.
