In the Summer of 1993 I found myself hanging off the side of a 59 foot fishing boat--over the cold dark waters of the Pacific Ocean.

ReplyDeletea time i was in the wrong place at the wrong time was at a store. it was a sunny day. the new spring air wooshed in my ears and the wind blowed softly pampering my hair. i was with my friend and we wanted something sweet. as we were walking to the store, a guy that we knew from school started to wallk with us with his friends. so we all go into the store together but not together if you get what im saying. so we're joking around with the guy and his friend. the store dude eyes stalking us whereever we went. i could practically see his eyes dilling holes in my back, his mouth opening and closing dying to say something to us. we were taking forever so he told us to hurry up. the guy said he'll meet us out the door and his friends followed. they were almost there but store dude saw that they were trying to steal, he thought we were with them. we calmly explained to the confused man that we werent. the guys said we werent and we were let free. the end
ReplyDeleteThis incident happened when i was at Mcnair Middle Schools. Me and my bestfriend Kortney would always be together. Because that is my bestfriend. One day me and Kortney were eating lunch. So lunch was over and they let all the 8th graders go back to class. Me and Kortney walked to the bathroom. When we walked out the bathroom we were the only people in the hallway. When we were on our way to class an adminstrator saw us and told us to come to the front office . He called our parents but unfortunatly neither of our parents answered the phone so we were in luck . But we should of went to class like the other students did in the first place.
ReplyDeleteIt was a Saturday morning my mother and I went to a dollar store just to browse around. Sometimes we buy stuff and other times we walk away without anything. That particular morning, we went in and wanted a snack; because we were going on vacation later that week. Suddenly, this woman walked into the store looking sort of furious and agitated. She walked directly up to the person checking us out and started talking to her. Reading from the tone of her voice, she was very disturbed and angry. She entered into an argument with the cashier and they both starting to get very loud and calling everyone’s attention in the store. The customer arguing with the cash had her mother in the store and naturally they both started teaming up on the cashier which starting to lead to an unfair fight of 2 against one. Then the cash register’s mother was also present in the store and was prepared to go head on with the other family. When they started fighting it was so aggressive that nobody wanted to break it up. This went on for about a minute. Then a man came in and tried to break up the fight. This didn’t stop them though; they pushed the man down and continued fighting. In the end, they damaged a lot of store property. They bashed canned goods, bent up shelves and destroyed a cash register. Lose change was all over the floor of the store, and some was flying out the door. Soon after the fight ended the police showed up and pulled the two cashiers and both customers away from each other, placed them under arrest, took them to the police car an drove them away. It was quite an unforgettable and scary moment because I could have gotten hurt, if I were near the fight. Ever since then, I tried to watch out for similar situations and stay as far away as I can to avoid getting hurt.

ReplyDeleteIve been at the wronge place at the wronge time lots of times but one time is when i was with my friends this summer in Brooklyn,NY. I was with about 12 of my friends 5 girls and 6 boys. We were walking around times square when we stoped at a corner store around the way. We were looking around the store being loud as usual when i see about 3 of my friends run out of the store. Everyone ran out and i was the last one to get out. I didnt know why they were running so I also ran to catch up with them. Once I caught up with them they told me why they ran. 2 of the people I was with stole candy from the store. I wasnt tooo shocked but I also didnt want to get in trouble for what they did so i told them we had to get far away from there. One of the friends i was with said that the store owner called the cops so we start walking fast. We didnt want to run because we would look to suspect. I caught a sight of a cop car coming toward us so I told them and all 12 of us start running. The cops came out and start chasing us. Out of the 12 of us that try'd to run only 5 of us didnt get caught and I was one of the 6 people that got caught for not doing anything. I I spent a couple of hours in the police department waiting for my father to pick me up. Thats a day I will never ever forget.
ReplyDeleteOne day i was at my home boy house,it was his Birth day that day.We was chilling having a good time with family and friends.So out of no where i just had a bad feeling something was about to happen,"It didn't happen as soon as i thought but it happened"The day of the party is when tragedy happen.Me and my home boy we was outside sitting on the porch and out of no where i hear, a gang of boys arguing.So i looked to see who it was, it was my home boy who i went to school with and some other boy i don't know. It made me react,i jumped off the porch to see what was going on.My home boy told me "not to worry about it he was going to handle it",so i just got mad when he told me that, because me and him is like family.So i just went back on the porch, i already knew what it was dealing with.It was gang related.later after they finished fussing they both walked off.The boy i didn't know went another way,and my home boy walked by me.I ask him "whats going on" he said,"don't worry about it".That night my home boy left from by me and went by some boys i didn't know.The moment he went over there,that when it happened.The boy my home boy got into the argument with,came back but he didn't come back empty handed.He came back with a gun and more boys,my home boy didn't know what to do,my home boy tried to run.The other boy who i didn't know,started shooting.As my home boy was running he got caught with one of the bullets from the gun,and it hit him right in the head.And with that story i feel like i was at the wrong place at the wrong time,because that could have been me.
ReplyDeleteone day i went over my friends house. we anted to go play basketball so we asked his mom if she could take us. she said that it was ok with her and that she would take us. when we finally got into the car in was three thirty. because we had to get on the interstate, it tkko us about thirty minutes to get there. when we finally arrived at the gym we only had about two hours to play basketball. we didnt really care about how much time we had, we cared about what was about to happen. at six o clock his mom came to pick us up. everybody in the car forgot that six oclock was rush hour. because we took the interstate, we got stuck in trafic. we waited to hours until we could get moving again. i knew then that we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteOne summer, my friend and I were walking home from the mall,a group of guys I say about four of them were looking at us stange and I knew that something was going to go wrong. As we kelpt walking, they were getting closer, making a plan. I wasn't sure what was going on but I just knew it was bad, I should have called my mom like she told me to, instead of walking home. My friend and I were nervus and started walking faste, the boys ran so we ran as well, holding our bags tightly in our hands. We turned the corner quick and caught our breathe, but about time we tried to run again, they were right behind us. One of the guys in red, I could never forget his face, he was dark skinned light brown eyes and muscular. He throws a hard right, trying to hit my friend right in the tympole, but luckly my friend fires before he does, as the other three guys reaches for his bags and so as mines. They grap the bags and takes off leaving their friend lying there beaten and bruised, they got away that summer. All because I didn't listen to my mother like I should have in the first place.

ReplyDeleteOne day, I was walking outside with my friends and it was a hot day, and we were getting bored and hot. He decided that we should go in his house and just chill. We went in there and he let us eat some of his food and have something to drink. After I decided to go to the back and just chill and talk on the phone. Wile they were up there shooting nerf guns and had the music blasting from the t.v. Then next thing you know, his grandma walks in the door and starts yelling and my friend came back there to tell me. When i walked out the bedroom; her eyes are staring dead at me and she yells "GET THE HECK OUT MY HOUSE!" I ran and tripped trying to pick up my stuff and not trying to run into her. We decided to go to my friend house and his dad called saying that their grandma went down to the leasing office and was trying to call the cops saying that we broke into their house. His dad also said that she was trying to get the cops to arrest us arrested for "raping" her granddaughter. When really her granddaughter was in the bathroom with the door locked, but since that us our first incident and the grandma was making all of it up we got off the hook. That was a case of getting of "being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

ReplyDeleteThe morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 2th. but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play. and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and John Delacroix-- the villagers pronounced this name "Dellacroy"--eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys. and the very small children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.Soon the men began to gather. surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club, the Halloween program--by Mr. Summers. who had time and energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him. because he had no children and his wife was a scold. When he arrived in the square, carrying the black wooden box, there was a murmur of conversation among the villagers, and he waved and called. "Little late today, folks." The postmaster, Mr. Graves, followed him, carrying a three- legged stool, and the stool was put in the center of the square and Mr. Summers set the black box down on it. The villagers kept their distance, leaving a space between themselves and the stool. and when Mr. Summers said, "Some of you fellows want to give me a hand?" there was a hesitation before two men. Mr. Martin and his oldest son, Baxter. came forward to hold the box steady on the stool while Mr. Summers stirred up the papers inside it.
ReplyDeleteThis summer in Murrieta CA I was invited to a ranch party.I asked my parents if I could go.Before they said yes, they asked me all the questions caring parents would ask.Then my mom finally let me go. When I got to the party it was really fun, there was people dancing and there was good music playing. The party was going on for a good 3 hours. After that the party was pronounced over, then every thing changed. There was two big fights and a gun was pulled on one of my best friends.I jumped in and pulled him out and we ran all the way to a near by store. I called my dad to come pick use up, while waiting we both were so scared that the boys my friend had confrontation with would come back looking for us both. Shortly after my phone call to my dad he arrived quickly, and we went home safely. That was the time I was in the wrong place a the wrong time
ReplyDeleteOn a hot summer day , my friends and I, were on the way to our neighborhood pool. It was a Saturday morning and everyone was almost dressed. Strangely, i felt something "out of place" was going to happen that day. Doubting with my thoughts, i continued my day with my friends at the pool. Once we arrived there, everything was going great. We all had swimming completions. Suddenly while i was in the middle of my second race with my bestfriend, out of nowhere comes a 21 year old woman on top of my head. I was so scared for my life. I was feeling so much water rushing towards me . Meanwhile after the lady was apologizing to me , i was just happy that i was okay . That was the time i was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteThe time i was in the wrong place at the wrong time was when i was at my aunte house. She was having a party for her birthday , and we came at 10:30 at night . They was partying loud and was drinking and had the music loud. So my aunte went outside and saw her boyfriend talking to a man an all of a sudden they got the swingin . Well my crazy aunte got in the middle of it an started to fight to until my uncle pulled her away. The to found out afterward he was drunk an he couldnt even remember what happened . So my aunte got mad an i guess she tried to kick him out the house so he wouldnt leave . So alot of other stuff happened , but this is the time when i was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

ReplyDeleteI wasnt in the wrong place at the wrong time but i know somebody that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am not going to speak of her name. This girl was a straight A student she hung with the right crowd through her whole elementry school year and middle school year. Her mother was a drug adict and she told her self that she wouldnt turn out any thing at all like her mother. Her mother was a single parent of 5 all of them had diffrent fathers. She was the oldest of them all. She helped her mother raise her younger siblings. As she finished middle school she moved on to high school and started getting influenced with the wrong type of crowd. She started dating drug dealers and everything. So she had her bestfriend and her bestfriend would play drug dealers for their money so unfourtanetly she was with her bestfriend at this time the drug dealers found her bestfriend and beat her to death and killed her and since she was with her at the time the same thing did happen to her. That was a time when some one was in the wrong place at the same time.

I was scared as hell so we was on a big bike 250cc and they was im a charger . we left them on take off we was in 6 gear doin 180 mph.
When I was 14 years old I had a good friend named Dread. We were together all of the time. It was no doubt that we were living a life of crime. One day I was with dread at my cousins house. We were just chillen when dread got a call from the girl he was staying with. He chilled for like 10 more minutes an then he dapped me up an he left. Later on that night I get a call from my sisters friend crying. She told me that dread had got killed. Of course I did not believe her. When I got off the phone with her I called dread at least 10 times and I got no answer that’s when I knew he really was gone. I had an option to be with dread that night, and any other night I would’ve. I wish could have been with him. I thank god he put me in the right place at the right place at the right time. It really could’ve been me.
