Acrostic
Part 1
Craig Stirling was alone in the room when he became aware of a sound outside the door.
Rising from the bed he crossed the room rapidly and listened at the door.
Acutely aware of his own danger he flung the door open wide.
In the shadows he could make out the figure of a man crouching, waiting to attack.
Grinning to himself Craig approached confidently.
Suddenly he became aware of another man behind him.
Turning swiftly he was just in time to block the punch that has been aimed at the back of his head
In a flash he pounced on the man and wrestled him to the ground.
Realising belatedly that there were at least 3 other men close behind him he decided to try to reach the man at the end of the corridor.
Listening intently for any indication that one of the men were about to attack he went forward.
In his haste to get to the man in the shadows he didn't see the trip wire stretched across the floor until too late & fell headlong onto the floor.
Not wasting a second, one of the men from behind him jumped forward and hit him on the back of the head with a sandbag.
Groaning, Craig tried to roll over but he was hit again and he passed out.
