The sun quietly and slowly went to sleep as the sky drew dark. The once green leaves now looked black as their shadows lay sound asleep on the grey cemented sidewalks. The birds you once heard chirping in the day seemed to disappear as darkness fell. This among all Fridays was a strange one, everyone was locked away safely into their stone built houses, atleast everyone but Steve.
Steve was the son of a carpenter and that of a teacher in one of the Elementary schools in Freeport, Grand Bahama. Growing up as an only chhild was a lonesome experience for Steve as he would be deserted to play with himself in school. Always being rejected he grew timid and natorious was one of the titles his name never seemed to hold, but to everyone he was just simply another reject. Usually, Steve would take long frightening walks in the park at night trying to clear his mind and thoughts. This for him was alone time, but to his overly protective parents just a danger on the lurk for their tender chreub.
Strolling casually down the darkstreets Steve thpught about his life, his parents and his brutal day. Horrible memories of children picking on him and pushing him against desks and chairs sent a sudden shiver down his spine with every instant replay. The crackling of a twig brought Steve back to earth for that moment as he listened attentively. Minute footsteps made their way to ward Steve seeming closer and closer with every step.There was no way to escape the supposed fugitives as Steve quickened his steps. Sweat streamed drop by drop down his face as his heart skipped beat after beat like trying to play a drum but missing the times to come in. What do I do?, Steve begun questioning himself What if It's...., but a sharp pain in his shoulder jabbed the thought. Blood flowed down his arm like water flowing down a waterfall, hitting the floor drip by drip. His knees grew weay and started to buckle and by time he realized what was happening he collapsed onto the ground.
"Is he dead?", questioned a dark husky voices.
"Yeah, I think so", rplied the other.
Quickly running off the maskrd strangers left. There he was lying on the floor left to die. Darkness was a constant sight as Steve cautiously looked side to side for a sign of light and a sign of hope. Light glimmered a few blocka ahead and relief penetrated Steve's body as he slowly made an attempt to get up. He slowly made his way to the door, not sure waht to do next he turned the door knob slowly only to find to his suprise the door was opened.
"Help me", Steve managed to lifelessly get out.
" Go away!" thw e woman shouted. " I can't help you!"
"Please ma'am, pleaded Steve. "I need your help! At least make a phone call for me!"
" You heard me ! Get from my house or I'll call the police!"
" Please ma'am, i'm begging you! Please! Just call the ambulance for me," gasped Steve.
Token by his plea the woman questioned, " What's wrong with you?"
" I-I-I've been shot,"stammered Steve.
Wasting no time at all the woman ran towards the phone and did as Steve requested. Five minutes later, Steve was out of the house and onto a stretch bed.
"Thank-You," he shouted as he was placed into the ambulance. At the hospital Steve excellent treatment and was back at home the neaxt day. Being gracious to the woman who saved his life Steve asked for her name and adress and visited her.He and Steve later became close friends and eventually got married. Now in their hearts and minds it will forever linger of how Steve met his wife.
