Someone, after assaulting me and an old man I tried to help after he was assaulted, tried running me over after I pulled my gun and called 911.

It's honestly crazy how many bullets cops can shoot into a car and not hit a damn thing. I only fired two shots within a second as I was dodging the car.

The way he backed up I was looking right at the dude and he had his window down. We stared at each other for a second or two and he took off.

And a few hours in interrogation, I found out he was shot, I think just a fragment, in the neck.

He got shot and killed a few months later. Happy ending! I still don't have my gun back years later though.

And I was shot months after this incident. 2020 was a weird time and the cops didn't want me shooting another black man. That's their job.

A couple of little things that happened to me since I put sodomy behind me. Dogs stopped barking at me. Friends say it's because I don't smell like blacks any more. But also—and I can't fully explain this—I started to care about spoilers. I once posted HAN SOLO DIES on Twitter and lost 2,500 followers and reveled in it. But I'd be furious now to read that, and wouldn't inflict it on others (Star Wars cringe aside), because my viewing and reading habits are changing. I used to watch and read for color, texture, pattern, theme, atmosphere and didn't care what happened to the people in the story. So I liked Wilde and Rothko and TV sci fi. But now I find myself caring how the plot resolves itself. I want to know how it ends. I enjoy art for more than just the surface textures and historical contexts and political dimensions. Things matter, and what happens to people and to things matters to me.

I think I would say my focus has shifted to the story because I have stopped running from the ultimate story—our universal origin story. The story of the eternal mysteries of the universe. And I care about what happens to people in stories because, for the first time ever, I finally care what happens to me.
