I'd probably curl up into a ball and start blubbering

One of the barristers I work with, a girl who lives by herself, heard burglars downstairs at 2 in the morning
She had her mobile and the police got there in time, but she was utterly shaken up.

Worse, one of my friend's sisters (she's a street artist in Leicester square so if you ever see her you'll know who she is, although if you have any brains you'll never go to Leicester square because hellhole) who is an artist was working at home one day in mile end. She opened the door to 2 men who were there to read the gas meter.

She left them in the kitchen then thought she should offer them a drink and went back in - to find them discussing whether they should kill her or just tie her up. She ran and they followed, into the lounge where the only escape was to jump off the balcony. And she's been in a wheel chair ever since, poor girl :( :( :(

She should have bent her knees as she landed.

I think she bent a bit more than that
