Meeting the Blind

This world is a dark place. I know this very well. My parents are divorced and both of them do drugs. I do not have the best life. This was the day that my life changed. It was at night and it was dark and misty and it was almost like the fog was rolling over the edges of the buildings. It was creepy. I was walking home from the grocery store when I passed a bar. As I was walking by, the door opened. 

I heard loud rock music, and the only thing I could smell was beer and urine coming from the bar. It was disgusting. The occupants of the bar that had just left also smelled bad. I turned around to look at them and I saw three big burly dudes drunk as skunks. When they saw me, they grinned. The biggest one opened his mouth and said,"Hey, kid. You got any money?" I shook my head no, but they didn't care. 

The big guy then said," You sure you don't got any money? I mean, if you don't have any money, how did you buy that food?" Then all three of them put their hands in their jackets and wrapped them around something. I had a feeling it was a knife. I threw the groceries at the biggest guy. The bag burst and the groceries went everywhere. A head of cabbage hit the closest guy in the head and a carton of eggs hit the other.

 The cabbage burst when it connected and knocked the guy loopy. The carton of eggs popped open and a few eggs cracked and covered the guy in egg yolk. They pulled their hands out of their jackets and I was right. They had knives. That was when I ran. I was running down the street when I turned left to run down an alley. When I got to the end I was bent over panting and wheezing. I looked up and realized that the alleyway was a dead end.

 There was a huge brick wall in my way. I noticed some dumpsters and I thought I could climb them. I climbed on top of one but the wall was still to high. I jumped to reach for the top when a hand wrapped around my ankle. It yanked me down and I smacked into the ground. When I hit, my head hit the ground and my vision went blurry. I looked up as my vision started to clear and I saw the three drunks standing over me wtih their knives out. 

The two smaller drunks picked me up as the biggest dude said," Well, well,  well. It seems like you couldn't make it away. Now let's see if you did have money."These people weren't drunken any more. They were high. High with adrenaline and the thrill of the hunt. That was when the devil showed up.
