Heated night
For the past four or five days, I’ve been pushing myself hard toward growth. I decided to cut down on entertainment and instead dive into books that could actually change my life. On top of that, I’ve been brushing up on my tech skills, trying to improve and expand my knowledge. It’s been intense, but worth it.
One of these days, I was so drained that I crashed around 8pm, something that rarely ever happens. I woke up around 2am, sweating like crazy, so I stepped outside to cool down and catch some fresh air. The night was quiet, and the cool air was refreshing.
I’d been standing there for a bit when I suddenly heard footsteps downstairs. With the way our compound is set up, we’re encouraged to create noise in situations like this to alert neighbors. I grabbed a spoon and a plate to make some noise and decided to go see what was going on.
When I got downstairs, there they were; two boys right in front of me, trying to break into a neighbor’s house. This neighbor had traveled, so I guess they thought it was the perfect opportunity. Without wasting time, I banged the plate hard to sound the alarm, and both of them took off running before anyone else could even wake up.
They were lucky to get away this time, feels surreal to remember, but I’m just glad nothing worse happened.
