A Fight

“Why is the queue so long? I have already stood for thirty minutes,” I complained. I was in a queue buying tickets for the show “Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen”. When I was going to reach the ticket counter, somebody dashed and cut in the queue. He was standing directly in front of me. I was furious. A wave of anger swept over me. “Why did you cut the queue, can’t you see it, you blind rat?” I screamed at the person when he turned around and stared at me.

His eyes were bulging like saucepans. To me, I was a rat and he was a cat, drooling to eat me up. I was very scared of his frightening stare. “Can’t you just shut up? Furthermore, it’s none of your business!” The person shouted at me. I quickly cowered as I was scared that he would beat me up.

The others behind me were glaring at him. They even yelled at him, “Get lost! You are the one who’s cutting the queue!” The man got agitated and he was angry. He kicked one of the people on the buttocks before boxing another person on his face. Nobody dared to stop him as they were afraid that they would be the next one to be beaten up black and blue.

I was rooted to the ground. Beads of perspiration trickled down my forehead. Shivers ran down my spine and hundred of thoughts raced through my mind. Suddenly, I thought of an idea, “Why don’t I call the police?” I whipped out my phone and dialed 999. I informed the police about the incident and they quickly rushed to the scene.

When the man had finished beating up the two people, he walked away, cackling like a witch. Suddenly, two policemen appeared and he was shocked to see them. He ran away as fast as his legs could carry them to. But, nobody could escape from the quick-thinking policemen. When the man ran into an alley, they went by the sides of the alley and caught him unaware. The man tried to escape but he could not as he was surrounded. One policeman pushed the man down before handcuffing him. The man tried to struggle but the other policeman held his hands tightly. In the end, he was caught and sent to the police station.

As for me, my mood was already spoilt by him before watching the movie. I decided not to watch the movie and I walked away, thinking about the incident just now.
