This dog gave me a fright!

630 A.M.
i woke up so i can jog around the village. It was still dark outside and i was thinking of staying in for a while as i reasoned that i might not see clearly outside. Of course, it was stupid. i went out of our house and there were lots of people doing thier early morning routine already --er jogging that is! After a few exchange of pleasantries, i tried to focus on my thing. i stretched a bit and warmed up. I jog for about fifteen minutes and found my heart skipping nonstop. i was exhausted so i figured to walk for a while before trying a second round. I was walking around our village and entered a desolated alley --its not actually desolated only that it was morning and nobody was there that time. In fact, at the end of the alley was the village clubhouse where a few early birds were practicing Wushu. Anyway, as i walked along that stretch, i passed by a house where a dog laid peacefully. "Cute" i thought. i glanced his way but did not stare at his eyes as i learned early on never to stare at a stranger's eyes, even dogs. I walked past him already when suddenly, with full mighty force he stood up barking. Yikes! my heart jumped! At the corner of my eyes, i saw him coming near me. I froze and stood still. He was still barking and barking and barking....... HELP! was all i can think of. i dare not shout for fear of provoking the dog. After a while, I tried to move half inch by half inch hoping that after, maybe, 5 hours i can reach the end of the road and some people might come to my rescue but each time i move the dog would follow. At this point, i thought my ending is definitely going to be a tragic one. .... I even promise God that i'll be good from then on as long as he help me............ pathetic, i know. I was in total terror......... Good thing, or was it a divine intervention, I saw an image of a guy from the corner and he was walking my direction! THANK YOU! He gave out a loud "SHHHHHH" and the dog scurried away. He told me never to run under this circumstance as the dog will surely come after me. Yeah, i figured that out early in life since i had the "fortunate" experience of running away from a dog once. Anyway, i thank him and quickly went back home. On my way home, a guy accosted me and asked if i was the girl who got terrified by a dog a while ago. (Hmmmm...... so, apparently the first guy have informed the others.) i answered in affirmative and he said he will report it to the village guards.........................

i really had a fright from this dog. A second chance in life...... now everything seem more beautiful and lovely.......... ahehehe just kidding. things are the same or maybe not............
