A Scary Night

Part 1

I had a terrible experience last night. You won’t believe what happened! A man burst into my apartment while I was asleep. There I was, just sleeping peacefully when someone broke the glass in the sliding door!

The sound woke me up. I heard the sliding door open, so I reached for the phone by the bed and called the police. My voice shook as I told the operator there was an intruder in my home.

I hid in my bedroom closet when the burglar came into my room. Soon I heard sirens as the police sped to my building from the crack in the closet door, I saw the burglar as he ran outside with my laptop.

The police jumped out of their cars and followed him, but he managed to get away in a car that was waiting for him. The police got back in their cars and drove after him.

Later I learned that they caught him a few miles from my building. I felt really frightened by all this. It really upset me, as you can imagine. I’m staying at my sister’s house for the rest of the week.
