A cold sweat ran down my face. My heart was pounding in my chest; each pound of its drum rattled my body. Tia understood that this hooded assailant was indeed a threat. All three of us stood still; we knew that if we moved wrong first, it could be the deciding factor of this encounter. The hooded assailant decided to …

Hiding away in a corner, I tried hopelessly to wipe my tears. The throbbing pain within my chest was heavy. So, it was a relief to know that the attending guests were distracted by the people dancing in the middle of the hall. They held onto their partners or wives and gently swayed back and forth.
