Nightmares vs. Reality *(contin. of living in the ghetto)

Last night it seems as if my life was a suspense movie waiting to unfold. Already I had a less than wonderful day. All I sought was rest and comfort in the silence of being home alone. I was granted no such thing, the day continually worsened as the sun gave way to the moon's existence and slowly faded out of sight. The monsters of the ghetto began to swarm out like vampires, unseen and unheard yet definitely real! I put on my pajama's and uttered a prayer that should have lasted longer but when I closed my eyes I'd drift off into the lightest sleep, my bed room lamp still burned bright because for some reason I did not feel at ease with the darkness. I was soon about to cut the light off and dismiss such ill begotten fears; to just sleep- when my phone rings. The bells chime and without looking at my caller ID I know it's my sister. She tells me that some guy tried to climb into a window located at the back of her house; luckily her tiny little dog Cola has the bark of a beast and the police happened to be in the neighborhood, they responded to the dogs cries and saw the villain. He escaped still and that only intensified my uncertainties seeing that my sister only lives about 5 minutes away from us. Every creek in my house caused me to question if I was truly alone. My sister and I hung up and despite being apprehensive I settled down in my bed and closed my eyes..... nearly 10 to 20 mintues later their is a loud banging at my door. BOOM BOOM BOOM. The knocks came rapidly one after the other! Instantly my body began to tremble gosh who could be here at such a late hour? I glanced out my front window to see one police officer sporting a bullet proof vest. I go open my front door and they say, " You called us do you still need our assistance?" Of course I had not called 911 and I thought oh Lord could this be some type of prophecy lol DO I need their assistance??
After I closed the door I was a bit shaken up. I enjoyed being home alone but now my "home" is just beginning to feel like a house sitting on land. It isn't a place where I feel safe, it's just a roof, doors and windows. All I can do is ask God to protect me (along with my brothers .38 caliber) lol jk Let his angels march around my house like it's "The Battle of Jericho" :) In my eyes I'm a tough cookie, yet yesterday I felt like a small frightened child. It wasn't until my sister came over, sleeping in the next room that I could finally close my eyes peacefully.
She was nearest to the door, whomever should come in would get her before me ... lol
