Get Some Stitches
circa 1994
I assumably go to stay with an Asian family for my Michigan orientation. I'm especially angry at the location of their home, for it would cause me to attend the black school where all the white kids get beat up. I sit down on the couch and meet the family. A mom, her sister (or something), two daughters (one my age or older, the other a little younger), and a son (in-between). A black guy walks by with some girl...another brother...I stand up to greet him but he keeps on walking. I feel stupid. Then another black guy comes, with a beard, gets in my face and says real nice-like, "I'll show you where to get some stitches," referring to how badly I'll get beat up at the school. Then I go down a hallway with the 3 kids and into a bedroom or bathroom (or both). We chat a bit and the boy and older girl leave. The older girl is a bit better looking. Nevertheless and younger one and I embrace for a bit. At one point my back is to her stomach and I feel something in the middle of my back. The girl falls over onto the floor by a toilet, a knife in her back and blood on the floor. I turn around to see the mom and the other woman there, the other woman wielding a knife and screaming something in another language at me.
