My Mid-night experience

Authors Avatar

As I was walking down the street, I felt the cold night air filling my lungs and the sound of my feet echoing with each step that I took.  There were no cars going by, as it was midnight there was no sound at all, not even the drunken man that lives just down the street.

I was walking under a bridge when suddenly I saw two guys walking over to me.  At first I was very worried, like when you know something is going to happen, a bad feeling, but then I thought to myself, why would something happen now? I mean; they were only two guys.

Nevertheless, I walked on and pretended not to have seen them, but it seemed they knew what I was doing and walked over to me saying “Do yo av ne fags” and quickly enough I said “no” to try and get rid of them and turned around and continues walking.

I got my answer straight away when they both started punching me, I tried pulling them off me but I was not strong enough, I felt too weak.  They were hitting me all over, from head to toe.  One of them hit me in the head with such great pressure, that I almost fainted, I do not know how I managed to stay awake and squeak out of a small hole they left, nor how I managed to run to the nearest flat.

I ran up the stairs and started knocking on all the doors frantically.  I did not know what to do, no one was answering.  Finally, when someone did answer I felt so relieved I could have kissed the floor if someone asked me to.  The owner of the flat was a young black gentleman in his near twenties.  When he asked what I wanted, I started shouting different things trying to tell him what had happened, and failed miserably, I felt very nervous as they where getting closer, he had no clue what I was talking about.  So I ...
