AND THATS THE TRUTH 5/15/2008

I want to tell you a true story from my childhood :
One time Me and two of my friends were hanging out in a school yard a mile from my house ( my school was only 3 houses away from where I lived)! Anyway Terry or Gary one , picked up this rock and decided to throw it at this brand new 1969 Chevy truck ! It hit the passenger side window and shattered it! The guy was so mad he crammed on the brakes and jumped out of the truck before it even came to a stop, well Terry and Gary both took off running! Me and my bad little self thought, I didn't throw the Rock and I ain't running! But the closer he came the bigger he got , next thing I know , he is eleventeen feet tall with fire in his eyes And it's just me and him! So I thought forget this, I"m outa here! I took off running too! I was little and fast , but he was powered by the rocket fuel of anger and after five or six blocks he was getting closer and closer , so I am running down the alley going no where fast, past yard after yard , dogs barking everywhere and he was gaining on me so I thought I'll take my chances with the dogs, maybe he won't follow! well he did and so did the dogs! they were tearing us to pieces and I felt like , dude your gonna die! now keep in mind these are long blocks in this part of ST- LOUIS maybe fifty houses per block and I'm on about the seventh block of this misadventure , and I'm thinking what do I do? So I see this old man coming out his front door , locking the door behind him ! By now my lungs are on fire and my legs are rubber and I can't run no more! So I start crawling and clawing my way up the hill in his front yard yelling HELP! HELP! This guy is after me ! Well the guy behind me is yelling too !
The next thing I hear him say is: GRAB HIM DAD ! You guessed it , out of all the places to go , I ran straight to the house of the guy that wants to kill me! They both end up putting me in the old man's car to take me to the police station, so on the way we were going over the bridge and I could see the roof top of MY SCHOOLYARD ! Thats all it took! My house was three houses away from that school so YOU GUESSED IT ,I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR! I made it home , ran down to my back basement door , I didn't come outside for days and never went in that school yard again! It was a catholic school called
EPIPHANY AND IT WAS TRULY AN EPIPHANY TO ME!
Now whenever I feel bad luck coming My way! All I can think of is GRAB HIM DAD
