I received a letter in the mail from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions today. In the back of my mind I knew what it was, but I refused to acknowledge it. I opened the letter with shaking hands and handed it to my Aunty to read cause I couldn’t bear to read it. I immediately saw the 3 names of the people behind the attempted armed robbery. 3 names that will probably stick in my mind for a long time yet. I finally can put a name to the face that terrorised me 6 long months ago. A face that I will remember, my screams that will continue to ring in my ears once in a while and the thumping of my heart pushing blood through my veins. All those things will remain in my memory, I do not forget that easily.
The Plea Day has been set for 12th March 2008.
I’ve decided. I will write that document. I want closure. I want it all to end.
