Walking Trouble

After I finished my homework my mom and I went to walk in the Cinta Costera. It was 7:30. I remember when I was on the bus on the way home that I saw about 20 police cars and 100 men stationed around the streets. Others were near construction sites. That's where it usually starts. And they were armed. They were preparing for the SUNTRACS. It is a group of syndicates that are angry of the government because the government raised the taxes for everything so if you want to buy food you can but it will cost you more money. Its just an easy way for the government to make money.

I decided to jog a little bit because my mom was power walking so we split up. I had my cellphone in my pocket. I started to sweat so I sat in a seat and rested. I heard a whistle from a police officer and I think he was chasing someone because there was this bright yellow jacket guy that was moving I guess it was him. I received a phone call from my mom.

"Come back to where we started." said mom strictly. I tried to talk but she hung up. Her voice was deep and she was breathing hard. It must have been from exercise, I thought. I got up with my mom and she told me that a man came up to her and told her to give him the cellphone. My mom said she refused and she started walking a little to the light post and luckily a police officer saw them and started chasing the guy that harassed my mom. Now my mom brings pepper spray. I thought it would be a joke to bring pepper spray but it really works.

  1. I love your story It is really funny and very descriptive.

    The police men were awfully scary but great work

  2. If I were your mom, I would do the same thing, I mean who likes to be harassed, obviously no one. (I think)Even though many people bring pepper spray, yeah I'm pretty sure it works, especially in the eyes, yikes that's gotta hurt. Anyway, nice job.
