Luckily, neither of you were seriously hurt; she was badly shaken up, and a necklace belonging to her grandmother was taken; you escaped away with a black eye, a bloody nose and a lost wallet. The attack was fast and brutal, and then it was over. The individual responsible was never found.

Your relationship with that particular young woman never was quite the same after that, and came to an end just three months later. By that time you were, of course, totally healed physically. Psychologically and emotionally though those three minutes -it couldn’t have been any longer than that- have haunted you ever since.
