That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With the first performance only a week 36 , I was still learning my lines. I was having 37 dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 38 up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down 39 streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep 40 and to keep away from any possible 41 . Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I 42 quickly, half 43 to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 44 , so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize 45 the noise had been. It had been my 46 falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to 47 I'd heard the noise. Although I 48 the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was 49 to be found.
I was about to give up the search when I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the 50 , "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was 51 . How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, 52 up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much 53 that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some 54 of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were 55 to help each other.
