One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was leaving a bar (being a little drunk) I noticed a pick-pocketer had stolen my phone and he was already running away. I started chasing him through crowded streets, crossing roads with heavy traffic through rainy night with swirling street lights of downtown Hamburg... After what felt like 10 minutes of frenzied run I finally caught up with him, jumped on him from behind knocking him down to the ground (how on earth did I manage to do this?! I was an 18 y.o. kid and the guy was twice as big as me!), took my phone and just walked away with adrenalin levels over the top and my heart refusing to slow down for a long long time after the whole thing was over.
