An Act Of Courage

An unexpected break in

By George HallPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Jasmine was going about her daily job as a jewellery store worker. All of a sudden she hear a loud crash as the front windows shattered in front of her. She freaked out and ducked behind the desk

As she knelt down, she could hear two male voices talking, as they came barging into the store. She peeped her head over the counter to see two masked men smashing the various display cabinets and grabbing pieces of their jewellery, while shoving it in a black bag. The alarm had gone off, but no one was nearby to help.

She decided she had to act. As one of the men drew closer to her desk, she flipped herself over the desk, kicking the guy in the face and knocking him unconcious. The partner noticed and began to reach for his gun, but it was too late, Jasmine had already run over to him and kicked the guy in the face, knocking him out, as he collapsed next to hid friend. Jasmine was shocked at her ability to incapacitate two fully grown men, but also felt a great sense of adrenaline rushing through her veins, she'd never done anything like this before.
