Meet Lily…

One night I was walking to the convenience store around one thirty in the morning, and I was approached by three crack heads. I got a bad vibe from them so I smiled at them since that’s my personal test for people. I figure that if they smile back at me, they’re probably harmless. They smiled back but as soon as they passed me, one of them grabbed my purse while the other two pushed my legs, throwing me forward to the pavement. They took off running with my purse.

Shaken from the attack, I stood up and started to walk towards the hotel on the corner of the street. I felt something tickling the back of my leg and as I looked back at my thigh, I saw that I was bleeding. The white boots I was wearing were turning a bright shade of red. The two crack heads who I thought were pushing my legs had actually sliced me with knives! I ended up in the hospital getting ten stitches on my left leg and fifteen on my right.
