Story 5

After a long day at work, I was relieved to finally go home and get some rest. But as I arrived, I found that they decided to throw a party tonight. I knew that I wasn’t going to get any rest tonight so might as well join in the party. I hopped in the shower and quickly got dressed.

I came out to the living room to join in on the festivities. Music was blasting and people were dancing. The air was filled with smoke, the floor had empty beer bottles, and the counters were covered with the remains of white powder.

“Hey try some of this.” Said a friend, well if you can call him a friend, as he sat next to me and pulled some snow-white powder from his wallet.

“Na na I’m good.”

“C’mon it’s free, and it’ll make you feel good.”

It’s free?!? It’s free?!? Where does he think I’m from? Shit I know how this game works: first you give them a hit for free, which is enough to get them hooked, and then you sell it to them.

“Na man that’s what’s wrong with our community.”

A few days later I asked one of the homies if I could get a ride back to my mom’s house. He said that he could take me so I got ready to head out. When we were on route he then informed me that we needed to make a quick stop, and to not worry it was on the way. The next thing I knew, there was a gun by my waist side and about thirty pounds of weed and coke in the trunk. We were on our way to a big deal and I was there for security reasons.

I had never made so much money so fast in my life! $500 for an hour’s worth of work. I just had to ride in a car and stand there with a gun by my waist, ready to shoot in case someone got greedy.

With this I can take my mom out to eat.
