BURGLARS

BURGLARS…


On May a day before my birthday I was alone in my house in Barrancabermeja. I was watching TV, suddenly someone knocked the door, I opened it and there were three men. A black man asked me for my father, so I said him “In this moment my father is working, maybe tomorrow in the morning my father is here” …the black man wanted water, I went to the kitchen and gave him a glass of water …in that moment he showed me a gun and said me “Don’t say nothing, shut up”. They went into the living room, my dog began to bark and the black man said “Shut up dog or I`ll kill you”. I was really frightened, my dog was with me. The burglars only said “where’s the money, you know that your father has money here” I didn’t say nothing, so they began to look for it in the bedrooms and in the kitchen. I knew that because they were in mess. While they were in other rooms I stayed in my bedroom’s brother with my dog and I thought “when the black man finish, he’ll kill me”, I thought that because I saw his face. Finally they found some money, they were very happy and I was nervous.
Nobody was near my house that was great for the burglars. They brought other things like my mother’s jewels. At about 8:00pm the black man said me “Thank you very much you’re very kind” he laughed and went out of my house. I was very very angry. I called my mother and told her what happened, I was crying and my mother worried arrived at home very fast. When she arrived, a “paraco” appeared, but was very late.
Three weeks after I saw the news and the burglars were seized by the police because they had been stolen in other places, that was the best new for me that day.
I haven`t forgotten the black man face.
