The Burglar
I HEARD
HIM TRYING TO BREAK IN.
I RAN
TO THE CABINET GRABBED MY AUTOMATIC,
SLAMMED
THE CLIP IN AND CHAMBERED A ROUND.
I WAS
SCARED AS I SNEAKED DOWN THE HALL
TO THE
BACK DOOR.
I ALSO
GRABBED A FLASH LIGHT.
I OPENED
THE DOOR
AS QUIETLY
AND AS SLOWLY AS I COULD.
I
TIP TOED TO THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE
WHERE
I HEARD HIM
STILL
WORKING ON THE SCREEN.
I TURNED
THE CORNER
AND
PUT THE FLASHLIGHT AND GUN IN HIS FACE.
I YELLED,
"HANDS UP!"
AS HE
TURNED TO FACE ME ...
Just
what I thought, a cat burglar
