When I heard the screaming of help, I was reading a book in front of the chimney; but I dropped it instantly and ran to the window to see what was happening and what my eyes saw left me speechless: a man was stabbing repeatedly the girl.
I tried to scream; but no sound came out of my mouth. I tried to go out to help her; but my legs were frozen and I couldn't move. I tried to pick up the phone and call the police; but my mind was blank and I couldn't remember the emergency number. I tried to help her, I really tried; but the fear and the shock I felt at the moment were stronger than my good intentions.
The end.
