“Home sweet home!” I shouted merrily.
I marched into my apartment heading straight for the window. I lifted the wooden pane and heard a loud crash followed by an angry man yelling. I peeped outside to acknowledge the scene on the street. Mr. Felix’s car had collided with another car. Both their bumpers were terribly battered. I noticed Jerry skating on the foot path. His gaze was on a girl who was cycling on the road, laughing at him.
Simon, a handicapped old man, wheeled forward unaware of the kid coming his way. He cocked his head to one side and gasped fearfully. The girl, on the other hand, was about to hit a man holding cumbersome parcels. Simon’s jaw trembled while the man started to shout at the girl who didn’t seem to hear him over the loud traffic noise.
The next few seconds seemed to tick by pretty fast. When Jerry looked up, he was startled. Trying to turn sideways to avoid hitting Simon he banged into a pole instead. The little girl halted her bike when she was only inches away from the frightened man. Still unaware of him, she stared anxiously at the kid. The man sighed with relief but Simon was trembling all over.
A police car approached. I held my breath while watching the chaotic scene. The policeman handled the situation and Poor Mr. Felix was silenced. I let out the breath I’d been holding, feeling lucky to be safe up in my home.
