Traffic Lights - By ALEX

This plot is based in real facts and it happened with me.
One day like any day, it was 5am on Monday and my alarm clock rang again. It was a new day coming, my head hurt a bit, maybe because it was that hangover again, I´d been partying all weekend. Anyway, I supposed everything were all right, “wake up, loo, shower, dress up, coffee”, and they really were, except for the coffee that I took in my home instead of take it away.

Fortunately I had a car in Brazil although it was very expensive to keep it, I used to work too far, i needed it. Before I´d gone to servo and put some petrol so I took my way to job. During my trip I´d stopped in a crossing, the traffic light was red when I turned the radio up and suddenly my window was smashed by a shot. It was a mugger attempting to grab my car. I was so horrified about it that I leapt to the passenger sit and leaved the car as fast as I could.

The mugger was about my age and unfortunately he stole my car, but in the other hand I was alive, I survived the robbery. After that I never more saw my car again, also the police told me that they were following the suspect.

To sum up, from now on I believe that traffic lights can murder me. I´d heard lots of cases like this one, but I never realized that it happened with me.
