Thief Fighting

5.01 am: woke up. Had a dream which I cannot remember most part.

I was in a beach with has tall wooden houses. At one of the houses, a fierce wife is scolding her husband, forcing him to sacrifice chickens from their farms to ward of badlucks or some curse. The husband do not want to sacrifice even young chicks so instead he wanted to sacrifice a roll of tissue paper. LOL! Even the dream god knows some bad humour eh?

I returned to my neighborhood in another scene. While walking home, I saw a commotion. A police has caught a criminal, looks like a thief. He suddenly broke loose and ran towards my direction. I quickly tried to lock my front gate but it was too late! He already at the gates and trying to get in, I tried hard to push back the gates against him but he took out a penknife trying to cut my hands. I stepped back and he broke through and ran heading towards my house front door.

I suddenly came out with a thought. I have always wanted to fight a criminal and here is the perfect chance. With that, I collected my caurage and ran towards the thief. I wanted to prevent him from entering my house at all cost to protect my family in there.

He swung his penknife wildly in front of me but I carefully tried to hit his knife away.
Then it happened.....
