I work at a local store while going to college. Last night, after a long day with multiple morning classes and a long 8 hour shift, I was leaving the store to go home. Mind you, this is at a little after midnight.
Anyways, I was walking out of the store, and to my car. I immediately noticed the street lights leading up to my car were out, and I hoped my car hadn't been broken into.
On my way over, I thought I could see a man on my left, ducking behind a car. I told myself it was just a shadow that looked like a man. Anyways, that made me nervous enough to quicken my trip to my car, as I always conceal a handgun in there for protection.
I was almost there when that "shadow" of a man crept up behind me. Before I knew it, he was pointing a gun to my head. My first thought was just "-blam!-. I was almost to my car"
Anyways, he asked me to give him all my money or he'd shoot. I figured I could try to fight him, but without any weapon and with a gun to my head, I thought twice. As I handed him my wallet, I considered shouting for help.
The man sighed, sounding noticably nervous, while still holding his gun.
He started walking away and I turned around. He still had his gun pointed at me. I raised my hands and asked him,
"Why are you doing this to me?! Why are you doing this to yourself?!"
He looked at me and said,
[spoiler]Well, there ain't no rest for the wicked, money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back though you know I wish I could oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good [/spoiler]
And with that, he ran away before I could go to my car and shoot that -blam!-er.
