Pitch Dark

Walks in the dark when you can not see anything is not the kind of walks I prefer. You don't know what you are going to step on, what is around you, what is making that noise, and which way to go. I would prefer walking when you can see everything around you. When you are walking home sometimes you just can not help the time of day.

When Jem and Scout where walking home after the carnival it was pitch dark. Both of them could barely see. Jem started to hear things that sounded like footsteps. When they walked the footsteps walked, when they stopped the footsteps stopped. The footsteps finally got impatient and started to run. That was the point it got scary. The action that happened next made me want to read faster.

In a short time someone was attacking them. At the time of the attack Arthur Radley was watching them from his window, he saw they were in trouble, and came to help. The man had already broke Jem's arm and had moved on to Scout. He was squezzing Scout so hard she could not breath. Arthur Radley jerked the man off of Scout and carried Jem to their house. The man ended up being Bob Ewell, but thanks to Arthur the only major injury was Jem's arm. Not including the fact that when Arthur pulled Bob to the ground Bob landed on his own knife. That makes me not want to walk no matter what time of day it is.
