Everyone experiences fear. But the difference between a hero and an ordinary person is that a hero grits their teeth and perseveres despite that fear. They strive towards an uncertain future and fight against fate at every turn of their life.
Helen decided to record it all.

The lens of the miniature camera turned back to the room.
In the frame, Fatty had his mouth wide open, an apple clamped in his teeth, crouching sneaky below the window sill, with only half his head and one eye peeking through the gap in the curtains to look outside.

A white flash swept across the street.
"Get down!"
All of a sudden, with a thunderous shout from Fatty, Helen was tackled to the ground before she could react.
