Notes:
Hi! If you're reading this story, I hope you enjoy it. I wanted to write something that conveys a lot of important topics such as racial profiling, slurs used against minorities, gun violence, police brutality, activism, and much more. As a young activist, I hope this story helps touch the hearts of people my age.
"Reina please wait!" I was running. I was running like there was no tomorrow. Tears were flooding my vision, and flowing like a flood. Bam! Everything stopped.
