Late last night, after some positive enjoyment with friends, Thai food and Spanish wine, I encountered the nightmare scenario...opening my door once, sensing something was wrong, and again 15 minutes later to find a gang of well-smacked-up teenagers lurching towards me, in darkness...what should I do...more to the point what the hell could I do, both physically, and in law???

I headed immediately for the middle ground, then imagined I was 'them', and yelled deeply, to get back to the street. In the haze of fear and protective adrenalin, I realised that they soon headed back to the street, chanting obscenities at me, which I myself will recall when I need the venom.

Well, my house had nearly been done over, with my body now reduced to 'rubble' and every motion, noise, screech, drum beat causing enormous concern to my senses.
I need to rid my house of this 'presence' as soon as possible.

My fear, and everyone's right now...was the moment you realise you are under threat of burglary and/or attack...what the hell do you do?
Because modern law states we must, in effect, fight our own protective instinct for the sake of our 'civilised society' that makes crime pay, drugs soooo easily obtainable, and sanity a thing seen in dictionaries, if we even care to define it anymore.

However, we are one of nature, and in us all is the greatest of things...the survival instinct.
