72) A robber pointed a gun to my face once. Yeah… there’s a story behind that one :)
Back in the day, I lived in a ghetto apartment complex with my parents and aunt and step-uncle. (we lived with them after returning from our 1 year stay at Florida)
I got lazy and so the rest of the post is copied from my xanga. (A period when I was confused with life) ENJOY ANGIE (btw, i wrote it a long time ago. DON”T JUDGE) :)
in a run down apartment, ‘the ghetto’ you would call it
random neighbors, side by side
mexicans, asians, dont remember any blacks or whites being there
a family was living through hard times
previously they had lived in a better apartment before
looked like they couldnt afford the cost of living there
so they moved in with the infamous rich ‘white people’
after several years, they soon left to live with their relative
in this run down apartment…
in this family lies one divorced mother, a neglected child, and a ruthless step-father
in another lies a devoted mother, a drunken father, a gentle child, and an abused one
a wedding has sprung, joy joy
a divorced mother marrying an abusive step-father
there, in the run down apartment, on this frightful wedding day
lies everyone but them two,
a past out drunken father, a dimwitted mother, a careless child, a baby child, and the abused one
cleaning the dishes, the dimwitted mother does
lying drunk on the couch, the father does
watching tv, the two children do
sitting in the middle of the room, the abused one does
*ding dong*, the door bell does
the mother quickly approached the door
without thought, she opened it, and to her surprise
the reaper’s friend had arrive
two vietnamese males, in black
a gun was quickly drawn at the mother’s head
a scream was put forth,
and this boy, quickly runs into the room to warn his fellow mates
and to his surprise, they are in disbelief of him
just like everyone is
just like everyone
until a dark figure soon appears before them
the neglected child soon begins to cry, the gentle child hides behind the crying child
and this other child, obeys the gun
the children are quickly thrown into the bathroom along with mother
their drunken father is quickly tied up
with the use of a vacuum machine power cord
unaware of the current situation, he too is thrown into the bathroom
with a gun between his eyes, the man cocks the gun,
“you open this door, and i’ll kill you all”
the child begins to cry louder
“SHUT UP, I SAID SHUT UP!”
they slam the door and make their leave
a family stuck in a bathroom…
the child waits a couple minutes
and finally opens the door
the men are gone
and the house is left in disarray
looking back
there lie, a drunken father
a crying child
a dimwitted mother, and her gentle child
and the abused one
