The sound of the alarm.

I had just gone to bed to watch a bit of TV when the alarm started to sound. I panicked. My heart began to race and I fetched in my small phone book the numbers I must tell the alarm company. But I know that will not be enough. If there are burglars here, they will steal. After a while, the alarm still sounding and no phone call, I slowly moved to the window and saw the there was a light on and off next door. Today there were workers there and maybe they left something wrong. It wasn´t my house and there was no robbery. Still, my heart is still racing more than when there´s an earthquake. Man are worse than nature by far.

I am glad it was not your alarm, when something like this happens, it's hard to go back to sleep.

Still, all these will not really stop burglars.

It's normal to feel panicky when you heard that strong alarm. It's a signal of something. Lately, we heard the alarm from the nearby university only to learn that they were just conducting a fire/quake drill. Stay safe.

I know you've been broken into before so I can imagine how frightened you must have been. I'm glad it turned out okay.
