It was a very dark night as Jane started to walk to her dorm from the campus library. She was thinking about tomorrow’s test when she heard heavy breathing and then a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a man looking at her while holding a bat. Without thinking, she swung her book bag with all her might – hitting the man in the chest and knocking him to the ground. Jane ran as fast as she could, running faster than she ever had back to her dorm. Her roommate couldn’t believe that 5 ft 1 Jane could take out a grown man and get as home as quick as she did.When Jane first got home, her heart was pounding; it felt like it was coming out of her chest! She was breathing rapidly; her mouth was dry and she felt extremely winded. Further, she was on edge and shaky. It was not until several hours later that Jane had finally calmed down enough to go to sleep.
