I told my parents immediately. We checked the neighbors. Called the cops. The cops got here, asked me some questions, along with my mom. They just left in search of them, and my parents are outside on the porch with their pistols making sure they don't come back. Tea sounds like a damn good idea but I don't think sleep is going to come to me as easily.

I hear you, I had similar things happen so yeah I highly suggest you get some tea, preferably cold since it'll help better than hot.

I think I'll be fine. It's just the shock of "Damn... that really could have happened" is getting to me. It's wearing off now after talking to the cops and I also have a gun in the corner of my room, so I feel safer.And you're totally Merlin the Wise.

A lot of thieves don't like blood on their hands so the shotgun was probably more for intimidation than to actually kill. Just thought that little bit of info could help further calm your nerves...
