My Way Home

I’m on my way home. There is a couple on the bench next to the subway entrance. It was a long day. On my way home I see a lot of things - like many others, too. I hear a woman cry. There’s a dark alley In front of me . But not dark enough to see what happens there. A man is punching the woman I heard before. So now I stand there and watch a man raping a woman. Was it possible for me to help ? Is it even possible? This situation sounds terrible for everyone. Although it happens a thousands time a day in my city. It’s a big city. Nearly every time there are people just looking - just like me now. For the one who wants to help it is even more important to know how to help most. In the end it takes one second and there is one victim more. So know what you should do and shouldn’t do - show civil courage.
