Five Minute Freewrite: A Crowd of Monsters
Janet has been warned severally to avoid the bush path leading to her house whenever she closes from work later than 6pm in the evening. This is because most 'bad boys' usually hang around those places in the night snatching ladies handbags and stealing their handsets.
Accessing Janet's house from the main road is actually far, so she prefers to come in through the bush path. On one occasion she managed to escape handbag snatchers. After that incident she reduced following that path.
Today, she has no option but to follow it even though it was already late. She tactfully tucked away her cell phone and the little handbag she was carrying with her. She has no cash on her, so that was not a problem for her as there is nothing to steal as far as cash is concerned.
She removed her footwears and held them by her hands. As soon as she hit the bush path she increased her pace, albeit walking smartly. Soon she heard a strange sound from the farm along the bush path. It was a rabid dog. She ran while shouting for help. The dog looked at her and looked away.
As Janet advanced further into the path sje met a group of young boys just trooping out from the bush. Another crowd of monsters, she whispered herself. She prayed to high heavens that nothing should happen to her this very night. As she approaches closer to the boys suddenly a man riding a bicycle came along and the boys disappeared into the bush.
