Post #1

I woke up in jail one morning and was confused with no idea on why or how I got there. As I pace back and forth in my cell trying to think why I was in jail, I search my pockets and find five items. In my pockets I find; my wallet, car keys, cell phone, a star burst, and my gym membership card. As I examine each item in my pocket, slowly my memory on what happened the night before came back to me. My wallet, car keys, and cell phone are everyday things that I keep in my pocket everywhere I go. The star burst candy and gym card is what brought back my memory on what happened that night. The candy was in my pocket because I can remember eating a pack of star burst on my way to the gym to play basketball. That also explains why I had my gym card with me so that I can get into the gym to play. It was just a normal night of playing basketball, like me and my friends always do. It was going real well and we were just about done playing for the night. I can remember there was one guy I didn't know who was playing, and he was causing a lot of trouble while we were playing. He was making hard fouls, talking trash, and just playing dirty. I had the ball up top, made a move and drove down the middle where I met up with the guy who was causing problems. I attempted to make a lay up over him and when I was airborne he purposely pushed me out the air. I hit the ground hard, landing right on back and hopped up quick angry at the dirty play just made. Me and the other guy got into a slight pushing scuffle but was quickly broken up by others. That little scuffle ended the game and everyone started packing up getting ready to leave. I got all my stuff on and headed out the door. Once I got to the parking lot I seen the guy I got into a confrontation with, and he approached me. We began fighting and slowly I blacked out. When I blacked out I couldn't tell you what happened after that because I can't remember. Next thing I know I woke up in here, in jail.

  1. I like the fact that you have used an everyday situation to bring the concept across and also how one individual's mischief may cause another person's downfall.
