Answer:
It was late at night when i heard a loud thud, boom..... it went. shortly after, there was noise, loud cries, bottles breaking, cars screeching. Naturally, all neighbors from my apartment block rushed to their windows to find out what had happened. calls started coming in from my friends who lived at the furthest end to inquire if i had heard the the noises but i was also in the dark. i didn't know what was going on. but all i could hear was noise and cries from people asking for hep. help me, help me, they went on and on. no body dared to come out of the house. we were just staring through our windows. time went by and after about 1 hour, a colleague of mine called to ask if i knew what was happening in my neighborhood. i said i had heard the loud bang, but i didn't know exactly what was going on. she asked me to switch on the Television and see for myself and low and behold, it was a bomb blast which had exploded in one of the pubs close by. Reporters were reporting across the street and i became terrified. in a flash my legs started shaking. i couldn't move. i was scared. started calling my friends to find out if they were safe as that was our favorite hangout joint. luckily enough no one had gone there that night. it took me close to 3 hours to finally settle and take everything in. by then it was approaching to 2 a.m and there i was no sleep, confused wondering what if these terrorists are i my block, what if they came to hide in our neighborhood. my heart was ready for the next bang. Thank goodness nothing happened. That nigh i didn't go to bed, i stayed awake till morning. i moved out of the house at about 9 a.m and police had sealed off that place and there was a diversion. i took my car and immediately drove to my parents house and stayed for a couple of days before finally going back to my place. we later got to learn that there were no survivors that night. they had arrested a couple of men as suspects and investigations were going on to find out exactly who had planned and executed the gruesome act.
