Title: The Tragic Night
I looked down the empty street with dread in my heart. Suddenly, I heard a shrill cry in the parking lot to my left. Looking over its fence, I found no one. As I wondered who could have made the noise; I felt someone run past me. I called out if someone is there? But no response, so I decided to head back home because it's already late. As I was going towards the exit of the parking lot, I heard someone calling for help. I move towards the source of the sound. At the end of the parking lot, I saw a girl crying sitting on the floor. I approached her carefully and asked her if she is alright? She continued weeping, so I carefully touched her shoulder and asked her again, but this time she looked towards me and the next moment I know everything went black. I opened my eyes, and by my surprise, I was in the hospital bed; the nurse told me I have a concussion and the security guard of the parking lot found me in an unconscious state. Later I found that I was attacked by a group of thieves who enact like that at night to steal money and jewellery from people. They took my wallet and all my possessions but thankfully, that hit doesn't cause too much damage to me. That was indeed a tragic night for me.
