What would you do?

You're sitting at home alone. On the computer or watching TV. And you hear the sound of glass breaking in a room down the hall from you. You quickly get out of your seat to see what you can. As you turn the corner you see light from flashlights and hear the voices of strangers. In the background the screaming noise of glass breaking again sounds, this time closer. You grab the phone and try calling 911 but a man starts coming at you from the hall, you drop the phone. You run towards the front door as you hear glass breaking for the third time. You run outside into the street screaming for help. Two elderly neighbors down the street hear your cries and quickly run into their home. You can see from the street that most of your home windows have been broken and it appears there are people inside running around. Two men come out and begin chasing you down. Closer and closer they get. You're heart begins to hurt and beat faster than it ever has. You can feel your mind get dizzy. You've lost it all.

Wow, erm, can somebody delete this? The reason I wrote it was because I'm home alone and got scared for a minute.

But now I'm not afraid somebody's going to break in. I'm afraid I have indeed broken my foot and we don't have the money or time to pay for it.

I would run until they caught me, then do my damndest to get them to talk to me in a reasonable manner instead of dashing my brains against the sidewalk.

Trip, if your foot is broken you have to get it treated now, money be damned. If you don't, you'll end up like Sogni, having problems later on down the road due to an injury that healed wrong. You can always pay your medical bills over time, even if you don't have much money.

I'd make sure I was in the right house. Maybe it was the neighbors thinking I was scarfing down all the Code Red and Nacho Cheese Doritos in their house while watching Girls Gone Wild Vol 4.

So that's why they smash their own windows?

Well, if you couldn't run, you could always try grabbing a baseball bat.

What the heck got you thinking along those lines, anyway?

Well, we always think of ourselves as superior beings. If somebody broke into your house chances are you'd beat the crap out of them...right? What if you couldn't?

Anyway, I was watching tv all alone and I heard a noise in the backroom. My neighborhood is known for break-ins and murders and junk like that. So I'm a bit paranoid. But deep down I know i'll be fine.
