Here is my story:

I had never felt so nervous before in my life. Nevertheless, it was an experience for me to learn how to protect myself.

Without warning, I entered my house and a thief putted his gang in my back, it was a terrifying moment. He was very cautious since I didn't raven saw him. I was really scared. I don't know why, instead of closing the door quickly I waited.

Quite unexpectedly, he took me and there I couldn't react. At first, I was paralyzed. However then I reactivated and I noticed that it was evil what was happening to me. I have never lived an experience like that.

- "Give me everything that you've", he told me.

- "Please, don't do me anything, please", I said.

- "Shut up or I'll shoot you", he shouted.

Not long afterwards, he tied my hands, it was really annoying. I thought that he was going to kill me, in contrast, he didn't. Just then. When it was all over, I felt really defeated.

All in all, it was the worst experience that I had had in my life.
