Late last night I was at my computer writing some of my fanfic when I heard four Distinct sounds that sounded like gun shots close by then a car with a loud engine raced down our small quiet street.... Now some would say I was just emotionally involved in the action scene I was writing or it was just DH watching the TV...... But the next morning when I'm still in my fluffy pink dressing gown and messy hair the cops come knocking on my door wondering if we saw anything of the incident that happened late last night at around 11pm.... I was so close to saying "Oh no! Galactor have found me!!!" And "Is the Science Ninja team onto it? Was it the Condor racing after them up the street?" Cause it sounded just like something straight out of Gatchaman unfolding in my very street. Now drive by shootings might happen all the time in the USA...but in Sydney Australia, its not that common. I'm just lucky they didn't target our house cause DH was in the lounge room at the front of the house. They did hit a few houses at the end of the street which is only a few meters from our house.... talk about lucky!

Yikes ... That's actually pretty scary hon. I hope Sydney isn't going the same way as Toronto is lately ... Look after yourself babe ... I'll have the Phoenix on watch for you, and will send Jason over to keep an eye on things. SJ

Hang on .... Did I see the word FANFIC in there????? Share share

Yikes, that's frightening, Ebony! I hope it was a rare and fluky incident -not to be repeated!

I am glad that you and your family are okay, Ebony.

Hang on.....Did I see the words fluffy pink dressing gown. Is that part of a Swans uniform in the mornings. Could be worse, it could have been a Mech-by-shooting. In Britian, it has been occasionally in the news with shootings and knifings.

Wow Ebony, I'm glad you're ok and you didn't get hit! Ahhh... I'm surprised Sydney doesn't have more being a big city... maybe it's just me since up north it's a daily occurrance.

SJ- yes I was writing fanfic, last part of a series. http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=69 MET;Yes my morning uniform is my fluffy pink dressing gown. I've heard about the problems they're having in London with stabbings...its bad isn't it, really bad. Drive by shootings aren't something that happen on a regular basis in Sydney. Sydney's more spread out as a city, and it has a higher population than other cities in Australia, but not the population like some of the US cities. It didn't wake up the girls, thank goodness... But the time it happened my youngest was due for her bottle, DH prepared it minutes after for her. Talk about timing.

Ebony, I'm glad that you and your family are safe.

Sometimes the world is so scary. But its beautiful too and I have tried to remember that in all of my city living. I'm glad all is safe and sound at your home, Ebony - and that there is another fic out in there for us!

How scary! I'm so glad all of you are safe, Ebony!

Ebony! Glad you guys are all ok!

GG just Reconciliation. I've posted five chapters of it so far, but have lots more done. I just want to get the story finished.

Ebony glad to hear you and your family are safe. Maybe you can use the events in your next Fic.

LOL Cd I thought about that.... but you know that scene they made for showing what they're doing in the movie with the Condor car chase....

yes but you could write it from the civilian side instead of the Condor's side......

Ebony, I'm glad to see that the ficcy is coming along.
