Could Of Been Worse

Written by m.

I remember one night it was raining...it must of been 1995 96....life was fast...sell here buy here...run this...bake that.....I remember one night it had been raining so much...for many days....it was cold....icy.....we were riding around looking for these guys who owed us...for days we had been chasing these guys everywhere. always missing them....my friend who'd I meet through a friend, we clicked and basically lived in his car selling.. here and there to get buy...

So we were out driving and trying to find some heat to use an get rid of.....we were in the hood in some old broken down apartment type community...f^ck I couldn’t tell you where I was cause I just moved into that city about a year before, so didn’t know too much..just knew too many people......it seem like 3 blocks, nothing but abandonment....it was really like some shit out of a comic book...so I’d been telling my partner for day that a small sawed off shotgun would do the trick....

So here we are in the rain..in some f*cked up ass hood an its about 4 a.m.....we hooked up with this crackhead we could get heat from every now and then, and he introduced us to this big black guy..man he was a monster of a man.....real cool southern hospitality and all......he sells us this sweet mean ass little shot gun D/B.....we smoked some ganja.........had a few laughs an dipped...out..

Days later we pulled over in a, if I remember it was a Krogers grocery store parking lot....we pulled over cause the sun was going down, and there was a payphone and we needed to try to hook up with this dancer girl to see if we could crash at her house that night..

 As I was making the call my partner was sitting in the car, and guess who drives by....them dudes...my friend screams to me to get in the car...we spin off in a u turn from hell..cutting across the parking lot, homeboy must be doing 40 though parked cars...as were cutting across, here they come back right at us...for some reason in what.. and why..I still don't understand, maybe they thought f*ck it or something.... we both come to a stop right next to each other...I rolled out the passenger side like-a-f*ckin movie.....I cocked them back, laid my arms down on the top of the car and fired..the first shot blew the back window out  ..the other hit the back side window out an hit the side of the car....they... hit the gas so fast, my boy yanks me by the legs back in.. hits the gas..we flew so fast when the parking lot ended we flew right over a small wall that the sidewalk was next to..it must of been at least 4 feet...so we hit the ground..down the block......now think....we just let off two rounds...shotgun....in mid day parking lot........my ears ringing.......heart pumping......we get to the end of the block.....red and blue lights......we look at each other and I let out a sigh...but he had some car pulled over....so we zoomed around him an layed low for about 2 weeks at that chicks house.....2 days  after that day...they came through and paid the money......never saw them since...or again...
