A lot of people have specific events in their life time that shapes and molds them into the person that they are. Many people reflect on this time to be a special or happy one. However one specific moment in my life is also one where I was put in a situation where I could have lost my life. It was a warm July nigh in South Carolina. A couple of my friends and I went out to a night club to enjoy ourselves. The night flew by and before we knew it the time had come for the club to close. As club goers left the club a drunken young man began bumped into one of my friends. From that arose a very intense argument, the two shared a slur or vulgar language and blank threats. My friend wasn’t so kind of threat so when the young man threatened to hit him a fight broke out. There was a huge brawl in the parking lot of the club a two sided war between my childhood friends and his crew of close friends I presume. We threw and landed punches to faces, ribs, heads, any unguarded area on the body was subject to being hit. The fight ended with blue lights and a scatter of people fleeing to their cars. Me and my friends made it to ours and left with a quickness. We stop by a store on the way out to grab some drinks and cigarettes for our ride home. Exiting the store the car of the people we had just got into a fight with at the club road by on the road. One of my friends yelled that’s that Fu*k boy right there. Some hand gestures were exchanged and they continued on their way. As did we, we traveled down whiskey road towards the old park we used to come a play basketball at with some friends from a different neighborhood. As we passed we saw about three or four people standing near a tree in the distance from the park to the street. When the car neared the tree on the street I heard gun shots as my back window shattered. The bullets flying through my car as I reached for a Taurus 45.
