A Tale of Two Suburban Teens
The following events take place between, 7:30 PM and 11:00 PM

Sweat dripped from my for-head onto the dirt that laid beneath my exhausted body as the two men ran past me in the mist of the night, to them I was unseen. After they had past
I gathered my self together and knew I had very little time to find my partner who was also my friend and equally in the same danger that had come upon us.

After coming to the end of the wooded area and crossing the street were only a matter of what seemed minutes before we were surrounded. I could only wonder why had we chosen to enter

This gave us, what I believe to be, the courage to even attempt such a thing; to basically steal someone else’s property. Exactly what we went about that night. After making our rounds within the subdivisions through town, the trunk of my car seemed to have enough that would satisfy two young teens “car hopers”. Two cases of beer, two sets of pricey golf clubs including bags, and plenty other golf accessories. I remembered specifically what I had taken that night. It was a night that I do remember for reasons I wish had never happened. For we were about to go home before it was said and agreed, “one more house.” We made our way in my loaded car to what we felt was a good choice of area. After the legal termed victim was chosen, the car was then parked down a few houses on a coordinating block. Then on foot we made our way up and in through the entry of garage. Three steps in and all that was heard or said came neither from Ryan or myself. “Hey, stop!” came a voice from the door that was the single entry to the house from inside the garage.

    He said some nonsense about reading the books. I slumped to the floor, not wanting to believe this was happening to ME. He spoke more nonsense as I thought about the things we might lose.

    My wrists started to ache terribly as I trudged along the hard concrete road. Usually, when I took this route home, I passed all sorts of strange looking people. Where we lived, was an odd place, the people there were very friendly, but sometimes too friendly, getting in the way of your private life, asking personal questions that you didn’t really know how to answer.…

    It was midsummer so it was warm outside. We are traveling through mountainous woods. Up top a ridge, we could see nothing besides the sea of evergreens that extended out off into the horizon. The red colors of the leaves reminded me of the maple trees that used to be outside of my house. I…

    They’d hidden themselves behind the old water mill there, probably only about ten or twenty of them; and thinking they had the advantage, they charged at us. We shot every single one of them right there. One of their bullets almost got me – it left a grazing on the top of my cap – but nothing major. As much as I was lucky to be alive, I was glad we’d placed our faith in the right place.…

Always in and out real quick and I always picked the houses where I knew the owners were at work because they all lived on the same street as me so I knew their schedules as well as I knew my own. But this time it was different someone decided to come home early and caught me right in the act. I froze I couldn’t move, couldn’t make my legs work. My mind was saying, “Run, run, run” but it’s like my legs were not even a part of my body at the time. So there I was standing in their hallway with a fist full of jewelry that I hadn’t quite gotten into my back pack yet to add with the new game console I found still in its box in the closet.
