What’s Happening?
 

It was the first day of the new year, fireworks flashed and people cheered.  Being in a crowd of pure maniacs, somebody hit me with a large utensil up-side my head.  I don’t really know what it was.  But after that, I was knocked out, and they dragged me here.  To the wet dark alley.  Waking up from a minor head injury, the unthinkable happened.  My fatal mistake scanned through my head.  “Why, oh why would I have ever done that,” Logan said.  I never realized drug dealing could go this far.

There I was lying as my life flashes by, face beating from all the person punching me in my head.  I feel it was over for me but it felt like kids was telling me to get up.  Is this the end?  I don’t know how this happened all I know is I couldn’t win.  To be continued…
