Crazy Chase

School activities really burn me out. That's why I usually doze off on public transportation on my way home. That afternoon the habit took its toll. As soon as I had secured a nice seat by the window, and slide open the windowpane, I fell asleep. When I finally got up only to find that I had way passed my destination, I panicked. "Stop...stop!" I shouted and jumped off the vehicle. On the street, I still couldn't make head nor tail of my whereabouts. I decided to cross the street. As I was about to do it, I heard someone shouting angrily behind me. I turned around and saw a man waving at me. I didn't know what I was thinking but I ran off like crazy, crossing the street recklessly to get away from him. But he tailed me. Now I was really terrified. Passersby were beginning to crowd to watch the chase. The man finally stopped and again, shouted at me, "Miss, will you just stop running! I just want to ask for
your bus fare. You forgot to pay it."

Sick Hero



       One day  when I was doing a school math examination,  I felt dizzy and sick. I tried to do all my activities but I couldn't stand it anymore so I decided to go home then. During my journey home, I found money  but it was not valuable to me. It was only 1 cent coin  and soon I forgot about that. I kept on walking home though I felt more and more dizzy.  I slowed my walk like  snail and then I crossed the zebra crossing and walked through shops and markets. I met my old friend from elementary school and he knew I studied in High School. I chatted with him  but I didn't want to tell him about my sickness. I finished my chat several minutes later and straight walked home again.
             when I got near to an ATM machine,  I noticed there was a  hole there. With all the dizziness,  and confusion in my mind,  I thought a thief had stolen money from it. I wanted to call a police but I didn’t know where I could find the police station around here. I didn’t know about the emergency number for calling the police either. So, I kept on walking straight home. Suddenly, I collided with someone and I saw him bringing a big bag.  He immediately ran straight forward. But in his bag I could see a small hole where I could see some papers and a paper  flew from it.  It was money !!! And I thought right away he was the thief.
           I chased him. I tried to catch him but he was very fast . Fortunately, I brought my skateboard with me in my backpack. But, when I wanted to use it on the sidewalk, there was a police chasing the thief. I couldn't help  chasing him also but I felt little dizzy and sick. I went after him anyway  about  4 blocks following the road he went. Unfortunately he didn’t drive a car so it was very easy catching him. And finally, I could knock him out with my skill in skateboarding. Many Police came after that and arrested him. Policemen thanked me for helping them to catch him. The Police rewarded me with 20 dollars and a medal.
           After the incident I did not feel dizzy and sick anymore. I continued my journey home with my skateboard then. I saved the money given by the police in my money deposit box and I used all my savings to buy a Nintendo Dual Screen.
