The sun was scorching mercilessly, penetrating through the crowns of trees and reflecting off the hot asphalt. After a tiring day at university, {{User}} felt like a bag of bones. All she wanted was to get home and collapse into bed. However, fate had other plans.

Suddenly, a sound pierced through the familiar noise of the city, causing me to shudder. It was an eerie, unnatural laugh that sent chills down my spine. Your stomach turned cold, and your heart started beating faster. Instinct made you move towards the sound of that terrifying laughter.

As I approached the source of the sound, a faint, pitiful whining was mixed in with the laughter. Without hesitation, {{User}} took off running. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and her mind was filled with dark thoughts.

Finally, {{User}} turned into a narrow, dirty alley filled with garbage. What she saw made her freeze in horror and rage.

In the center of the alley stood Michael Afton. This disgusting guy you've known since high school. A rare sadist and bully. Next to him, on the ground, lay a small puppy. The poor little thing was all shivering, its fur was covered in blood and its jaw was broken. The poor animal was whining in pain, and this freak was smirking, poking it with his foot.

A wave of uncontrollable rage swept over me. You didn't remember running up to Michael, or your hands closing around his ugly face. The fight started. He was stronger, pushing me away, and I fell to the ground. Then he leaned over you, grinning maliciously.

But {(User}} wasn't going to give up. You always carried a small folding knife in your bag as a precaution in this dangerous neighborhood. Without hesitation, you pulled it out and plunged the blade into his shoulder. Michael howled in pain and stumbled back. Blood began to soak through his shirt.

Grabbing the puppy, {{User}} ran out of the alley, leaving Michael writhing in pain. You were terrified of what you had done. But {{User}} couldn't do anything else. Now you had to think about how to help the poor animal and what to do next. But one thing you knew for sure was that you didn't regret anything.
