PARAGRAPHS

The police were in hot pursuit of the fleeing robber. In his

panic, the robber ran helter-skelter as he headed to the
nearest exit. This proved to be a costly mistake for him as the
police officers gave chase like a group of Olympic athletes. In
no time, they had caught up with him and immediately cornered
him to one side.
The burglar sensed that he was not alone. He spun around
and saw me. He hurriedly put down the vase and grabbed a
nearby baseball bat, lunging at me with it. Fortunately, I
managed to dodge the attack. I let my heavy haversack which I
was carrying off my shoulders onto my hands I swung it with all
my might and slammed it into the burglar's stomach. He
staggered backwards and collapsed with a loud "thud" in a heap
on the floor.

 Out of the blue, I noticed a burly, suspicious stranger

pacing about in remote corner of the shop. At first, I assumed
that he was a little weird so I did not pay much attention to
him, not until a gleaming sharp knife appeared in his firm hand.
I gasped. To my horror, he slowly advanced towards me, as if
he might attempt to launch his attack at any moment I
clutched my chest as a surge of intense fear engulfed me.
Two masked robbers, armed with daggers, entered the
jewellery shop stealthily in the middle of the night. Never did
they expect that the police had already surrounded the
building. They smashed the glass displays and stuffed the
glittering jewellery into a bag. Just as they were about to
make their escape, the whole place was swarmed with
policemen. Beads of perspiration trickled down their foreheads
as the panic-stricken robbers fled.
Bile rose in the back of my throat as the robber held me at
knife point. My heart thumped furiously against my ribs and a
loud buzzing sound vibrated in my eardrums. The masked
robber smiled with amusement at my apparent fear.
The two men wrestled and rolled on the floor engaged in a
precarious struggle. The valiant passer-by held the robber's
hand in a vice-like grip, preventing him from using the knife.
After some twisting, he managed to unarm the robber.
As I approached my apartment, I heard sounds around the
corner of my neighbour's apartment. I proceeded slowly and
quietly towards the their apartment, and was surprised to see
the main door ajar. Wild thoughts raced through my mind. I
gingerly swung open the door and saw that the living room was
in disarray. Drawers were ransacked, furnitures were toppled

over. What confirmed my suspicion was the sinister looking

stranger standing in the middle of the room.

4. Blackout and chaos

Without warning, the MRT train jerked to a halt and
everything turned pitch dark. Panic invaded the carriage I
was in. Some of the commuters screamed at the top of their
voice and burst into tears. Fear ripped into my lungs, robbing
me off all oxygen. I could hear my own pulses and my heart
palpitating with the chilling fear that was setting in. The
carriage was soon abuzz with nervous chatters and some
lights from mobile phones illuminated the carriage.
The train came into a sudden halt. The light in the carriage
started flickering and the whole train was engulfed in
darkness.
The train was plunged into total darkness! The train was in
total chaos and fear snaked around my heart as I adjust to
the darkness.

destroying everything in its path. Everywhere, people were
taking off in all directions with fear visibly etched on their
faces. The fire changed from orange to blue as the
temperature rose like the thick black fumes that were
stretching skywards.

 Pandemonium broke out, people dashed off in fear, hoping

to escape from the clutches of the raging fire. The howling
wind fed the raging flames and the fire sang a grim tune
triumphantly as it burnt. The repugnant burning scent filled
the air as the ravenous orange flames swallowed up the
building.
The orange clutches of fire wrapped its fiery fingers
around the whole building, turning the whole building into a
gloomy black. The roaring flame escalated ferociously when
aided by the strong winds. The entire building was
transformed into an incinerator with its strong flames,
cremating everything into ashes.
Everything and anything that can be burnt was fried in the
fiery cauldron of yellow flames. Smoke and sparks were
whirling in all direction. The sharp shrill of alarm
reverberated through the whole building.

The young driver sped recklessly on the highway. The bus
zipped past cars and lorries and was traveling at a speed on
120km/h with 20 passengers on board! Suddenly, the bus
veered abruptly to the right and plunged into a ravine,
crashing into a tree.
The drivers foot riled the accelerator and pushed the taxi
to its limits precariously. All of a sudden, the car in front of
them braked. The driver slammed his foot down, attempting
to salvage the situation with an emergency brake.

 The tyres blazed the rough cement road as it screeched

with a deafening sound. The car went free-wheeling and
turned turtle before coming to as stop.
A deafening blast rose into the air. The car had crashed

running like a mad horse on steroids. I immediately pelted
towards the thief before pouncing on him and giving him my
signature punch on his face that made him cry out in pain.
The security guards gave chase like a group of Olympic
athletes. In no time, they had caught up with the thief and
handcuffed him.
The snatch thief skedaddled away and disappeared round
the corner. Upon seeing that, I immediately gave chase and
scooted around the corner at the speed of the light. Soon, I
narrowed the gap between the thief and me. Taking the
opportunity, I sprinted towards him and threw myself on him.
Robbery
Armed with rifles, the four masked robbers rushed into the
bank and held up the staff members and the customers at
gunpoint.

 Dont move! the robber bellowed. Silence hung in the air as

time stood still. All the customers and staff members raised
their trembling hands and crouched in fear.

8. A Fight
In mere seconds, punches were thrown. Fists were sent
flying. A fight had erupted! I watched in horror as the two
men wrestled each other to the ground. One of them had
already owned a bloody lip.
Their heated argument turned into violence. The two men
exchanged blows. Bystanders cowered in fear and leapt out
of their seats to escape from any fury that might come from
either of the two men.
Like a relentless murderer, he went head-on with John.
John swung his fists and hit his cheeks. The sudden punch
cracked across his cheeks, bursting the fine blood vessels in
his mouth. Instantly, he could smell blood which was pooling
beneath his tongue.
