The Not-So-Safe Place To Live

*Sigh*

Hey there D-landers, I'm in such a melancholy mood today. I woke up really not feeling well. I can't take being sick anymore. I'm sick everyday and today I'm just dizzy and have pain in my sides and lower back, plus my muscles hurt a little bit.

*Yawn*

Yes, I am tired too. I want to go home and curl up and sleep, but that can never happen in my house. There is always something.

Speaking of something, the last 2 days have been the scariest where I live. There was a bank robbery not too far from my house...I say about 5 blocks away. Bank robber got ahold of $3,000-$12,000 and ran off. Cops can't find the guy. He was spotted running through backyards not too far away from my house and cops were on the hunt. I spent Thursday (after 2 PM) locked in my house because police were everywhere. They were doing house-to-house searches. My father and brother were waiting for my mother and sister so they could go out when they were approached by police (in our driveway) with flack jackets and machine guns. Pretty scary indeed. They asked my dad and brother questions about if they saw anything, do we keep our shed locked all the time, and how long my brother had been home. Then there was a suspicious car parked around the front of our house, but no one knows who it belongs to, so the cops first approached it armed and then reported it in.

I have a church maybe 2 minutes from my house (walking) and that is where the FBI, state police, local police, and county police were all in their command center. The road by my house was baricaded by county police who were armed with shot guns. Police helicopters flew all over the place. It was so frightening. My town had become a ghost town and by 6 PM, everyone was locked in their homes. Businesses were closed. Schools were on lock-down. I have trains that run a block and a half from my house and police stopped all of them (both ways) and checked every single car to make sure this guy didn't hop a ride.

I thought that it was the safe place to live. Mommy says it still is. Never was so afraid before to be alive.

It didn't help that I have a fear of being murdered...because I am plagued by constant nightmares of it. So I have been paranoid and on edge since it happened. If I'm alone in my house, I am freaking out. Last night, I was up talking to Marty on the computer and it was nearly 1 AM. I kept getting so paranoid and looking behind me, because I got the overwhelming feeling that someone other than myself and my 2 cats was there.

I better go...by the way, they never caught this guy. It still freaks me out. Though by now, I pray he's long gone from here. I hope the cops catch him.

I miss you Marty *KIMMY KISS*
