Leo Licious's POV:

    My hand lifts upwards to my hair to remove a singular pink wave out of my face. My eyes, a deep chestnut brown scan the concrete below my feet with cautiousness and focus. The red wired earbuds drape from my ears down to my front pants pocket, it sways side to side in tempo with my steps. Poorly spaced sidewalks pave the way back to my new apartment complex.

   But something catches my attention as my head turns to see a freshly spray painted tag in a back alley way. Huh a bold color choice... But it isn't a great combination together... I set my pin covered back pack down gently, in an attempt to not damage my vibrantly colored spray paint cans. I pull out the cans and begin to painstakingly cover up the horrid 'Smooths' tag from the Smoothie Gang. Their a bunch of fucking clueless idiots if you ask me... Nothing but trouble. And you might as well make it double if they catch me covering their graffiti tags all over Shake Town as if it were smoothie territory.

   I finish the painted mural of a strawberry dripping chocolate with my signature circular letter 'L'. I double tap my phone to awake it from it's blank screen state and pull up my camera app to snap a quick picture of it for my Basebook Art Community. But just as my finger gingerly touches the button to take a photographic copy of my artwork a very sharp and stinging pain flows through my body within seconds after my finger releases the button. I bite my lip hard as I drop my phone and instantaneously grab my right flank in utter agony.

   The white and red stripped muscle tank top begins to stain itself a dark crimson color  around my hands. S-Shit... I look up at the dimly lit ally light above a dumpster as I come to the realization I have been brutally shanked in the side with reminisce of a glass soda bottle. The pain is too great to bare as my eyes slowly open and close until they don't open anymore. Everything just goes black.
