sbug_adam · **Very Scary moment for me yesterday **long read** -** 06-01-2009, 11:28 AM

I had experienced a life changing moment. Yesterday, I was driving home from work when I ran into some traffic. I really didnt want to wait since I had to be home asap. I u-turned and headed down an unfamiliar street. Took a right when I should have taken a left and ended up in a dead end street. When I hit the end of the road I saw 3 men arguing on the side of a house. I do not think they saw me at that moment.

There was a lot of shouting and what appeared to have been arguing and hand gestures. All of a sudden, the one who was yelling pulled out a knife and put it up to one mans neck and sliced it open. There was blood gushing and the guy whose throat was slit ran a few steps then fell to his knees then flat on his face. Just then the 'killer' looked up and our eyes met. I was as white as a ghost and sweat began forming on my brow. I threw my car into reverse and sped out of the cul-de-sac and whipped my car around as fast as possible. In my mirror I saw that the 2 men jumped into a truck and began chasing me. I had tears in my eyes as I tore through the streets hoping to see a cop on the way out. I managed to weave in an out of traffic and finally lost those lunatics. I was shaking the rest of the way home and my hands were white from gripping the steering wheel so tight.

I made it home still full of fear. I collected myself and walked inside. I really couldnt hold it in so I just fell to the floor. My mom ran to me and helped me up. She brought me to the kitchen and poured me a class of water since I had so much water loss from the panic I was experiencing. She sat down next to me and asked what happened. I could barely speak as I was so dry and full of fear. I managed to tell her the most graphic parts. She too began to weep. Thinking they had my license plate number that would lead them here she knew I was in trouble and my mom got scared She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I whistled for a cab and when it came near. The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab is rare, but I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air' I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later' I looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
