-Cats-

I used to be afraid of cats and would run away from them no matter how far they are from me. However, one incident made me overcome my fear of cats and that incident was one that i would never forget.

I was walking home at night after finishing a school project at my friend's house. As I walked down the dimly lit pavement, I was wondering about what grade my group would get for the project. Still deep in thought, I crossed the road but I used the zebra-crossing.

While I was crossing, part of me was still thinking about the project but a bright light suddenly shone onto me. I realised that it was a car travelling towards me at a great speed and i did not stop even though there was a flashing yellow light to tell the driver that it was a zebra-crossing.

"MEOW!" My attention was turned towards the meow and I let out a piercing scream and ran back towards the pavement where I had just left and saw a shadowy figure of a cat dashing away into the darkness. Just at the same time, the car drove past the place where i had just stood moments before.

I remained lying down on the ground and panting. What just happened kept replaying in my head again and again but one thing that felt very hard to believe was that the cat had saved my life. From then on, I did not fear cats any more and even kept one as a pet for myself.
