Agony after the attack

One on my left, one on my right, at 1:00 a.m., in a dark alley; it was raining and cold. The one on my right asked me what time it was, I had a strange, very strange feeling that something wasn’t right. Suddenly, the one on my left grabbed me, grabbed my bag, grabbed my entire life, pushed me down and beat me. I resisted until I realized that I could face death. I shouted. I collapsed. I was profaned in my body. Casualties at the hospital. A hospital where people suffer in silence and don't talk by fear of repercussions. Two witnesses identified them during arraignment. I sued them for damages. I would have sued them to hell. They were sentenced, 6 months in jail. Not enough for me, but enough in the eyes of the Justice. Justice can’t afford putting petty criminals in overflooding state financed prison. They were 20 and jobless. I was innocent and a victim. While I was fearless at night, now I am afraid to walk alone in the dark.
