Welcome Note

Yesterday,(you might find it quite random) i decided to train my stamina for the 2.4km run and so i went jogging in the nearby park with my father. It was roughly around 6a.m. when I was in the park and only the dim lights from the lamp posts shone. I felt quite tired and started walking for the next round. "Bang!" something fell on the ground. The leaves in the bushes rustled for a few seconds; then stopped. The park was then silent and still.
I became rather nervous and smelt a rat when i hear the sound. I then quickened my pace and a few seconds later, I heard a loud "bang!" again. It sounded like a gun shot followed by another "thud!"
Suddenly, I thought of the movie that I had watched a week ago. The movie was about a murderer with a gun on the loose. I replayed the movie in my mind and was like a cat on hot bricks. I know that Singapore is a safe place but I could not help myself to think about the pessimistic side of the matter. "Who is there lurking in the bushes? Will he attack me?"questions raced through my mind.
Then, near the bushes I saw a long piece of metal. Now, this is really spine-chilling!. I realized that there was a man hiding in the bushes and he was holding a rifle. I broke out in cold sweat. All of a sudden, a black crow flew across the sky. The man put the gun to his shoulder, aimed and shot. The crow fell to the ground with a loud thud! My heart sank for the bird.
The man immediately emerged from the bushes and lifted the dead crow up. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
I continued my jog with beads of perspiration all over me until my father called me from afar that it is time to go home. I told the incident to my father and he laughed before asking me "Are you born without guts??" I paused for a moment and gave a laugh.
What a morning to start my day!!!
