Journal 3

Being held hostage would be the scariest thing in my life. I can't imagine what it would be like to sit in like a bank or something and have your life flash in between your life. If I was held hostage in a situation that my life flashed before my eyes I would sit down and do what they told me to do. Even though that would not be very strong of me that is what I would do if I was in a hostage situation. Here is my story. I was in my work office and I was by myself and all of a sudden I heard a gunshot down below my office. I went to go check it out because I had no idea what that noise was and I saw one of my coworkers down on the ground struggling between life and death. When I realized what had happened their was a man behind the cubicle and said "Sit down and shut up!" I sat down and did not know what to do. I just came in to do a little job that I needed to do. Once everything had calmed down I tried to think of what to do. What if he shoots me and I die? I will never see my family again if he shoots me. The man was talking to himself and saying that he needed the money. I wondered if anybody else had heard this gunshot that had happened or if it was just me. I was in the room for at least three hours just praying that he would not shoot me and just let me go. Once he stopped talking to himself he turned to me and asked me if I would get him some money. I stopped and thought what if I did. What if I helped him out and he got away. How would I feel with all of this. I decided not to help him and he said that I had a half and hour to change my mind or he would shoot me. A half an hour came by and I still didn't change my mind. I was about to get shot when the FBI busted in and saved me. After all this had happened I ran home and saw my family. I told them all about what happened. That was my story and that is what I would do if I was in that kind of hostage situation.
