I remember saving a lady in distress in such a manner in 1997.
I was listening to Tupac & Biggie when… next door I heard " I WILL KILL YOU TODAY" with a baby wailing loudly in the background.
I dashed to their house and slammed my shoulders against the door, breaking the lock. The whole place was turned upside down, furniture everywhere.
As soon as i could adjust my eyes to the dim lighting, i saw the woman cowering in the corner, baby in her arms and
her husband coming out with a gun … shocked shocked shocked
3 quick steps with my long legs and i flung myself across their small parlour like David De Gea saving a shot.
Several things happened at once - I saw the muzzle flash, heard the deafening bang & felt a hard punch to my chest
Just like an elephant kicked me. I was pushed into the woman’s bosom pushing her off-balance.
She held me in her arms with her baby, blood was gushing from my chest… i was wheezing embarassed
I then remembered the saying " If you hear a gunshot, you are not dead"
It turned out that i was lucky, the bullet had entered the metal whisky flask i kept in my breast pocket to drown my sorrows. cry
I looked up and i saw the murderous look in the husband’s eyes…he was reloading.
