Mac - the Witness
Mac was walking down the street with his newly bought groceries, he was headed back to his small two room apartment that was only a couple blocks away. He decided to cut through the back alley behind the drycleaners to get to his apartment faster so he could catch start of the monday night football game. Two men came around the corner yelling and shoving each other, one in a white t-shirt and hat and the other in a black sweater with the hood up. The man in the black hoodie shoved the other onto the ground, it appeared the the two men haven't noticed Mac yet. The man in the black sweater mumbled something to the other man, Mac couldn't make it out. The man then pulled a knife out of his backpack and pounced onto the other man, the man let out a blood curdling scream. No one was around except Mac.

Mac was awoken by five loud knocks on his wooden door around seven o'clock that next morning. Mac rattled himself awake to answer the door, as Mac approached the door the knocks grew louder. Mac was still waking up then the thought that the person at the door could be the man Mac saw yesterday darted through his mind. Right as Mac pressed his eye up against the peephole, the man shouted, “open up now!”
It was the man from the back alley. Mac sprinted to the fire escape and he could hear the man fiddling with the lock on his door. The man yelled, “you know I can hear you in there!” Mac’s heart started pumping, he heard the door make a loud cracking noise. The man must've rammed his weapon through the door. Mac lives on the second floor of his apartment building so he slid down the fire escape quickly. Mac jumped into his car and struggled to get the
