I sit on the cool September pavement in my thin pajamas, drenched in my own sweat. My bare feet scaled the cracked sidewalk, sweeping the dirt and overgrown weeds between my toes.

I look up as chaos is unfolding across the street.

My eyes just barely able to focus thoroughly on my surroundings. I stare at the bright amber and cobalt lights continuously flashing across the street as my neighbors cough and glare from behind the police tapes. Their hands covering wordless mouths.

Breathing is difficult and unstable while my hearing is shaky. I try to piece together what had just happened but my thoughts are stirred.

From the corner of my eye I see my mother point in my direction whilst crying. She is screaming at the police. My wrists are already constricted by the metal cuffs barring into my tender skin when the first tear drop falls from my eye... What had I just done?
