A young man by the name Tay was<br />

on the right path up until he graduated<br />

high-school. Considering he came<br />

from the projects where he didn’t see<br />

too many people doing good things.<br />

His brother also died when Tay was<br />

ten, so that still weighed heavy on his<br />

heart. Despite all of that he was a great<br />

student all until high school when he<br />

graduated.<br />

He was confused after, didn’t know<br />

the next step, he didn’t have enough<br />

money to go to university. Lost in<br />

his circumstances he lived in he<br />

eventually got into selling drugs, and<br />

for a while, it seemed promising. He<br />

sold crack cocaine for a few months<br />

to stay out of enemy’s lines and he<br />

seemed to be docking the cops with<br />

ease. Eventually he started getting<br />

cocky and confident and started telling<br />

people about how much money<br />

he was making and that he is was<br />

invading other people’s territory.<br />

Enemies living in another hood got<br />

word of this and made a plan to set<br />

Tay up. One day while Tay was on the<br />

block selling rock, his friend ask him<br />

to accompany him on a ride to the<br />

store, naturally Tay would be cautious<br />

and wouldn’t go but he figured it was<br />

his good friend he knew for years and<br />

didn’t think much of it. They went<br />

to the store and as they were coming<br />

out, people in a hummer pulled up<br />

started shooting! Tay grabbed his<br />

friend and tried to get to the floor.<br />

Tay and his friend got hit by several<br />

bullets and fell victim to their injuries<br />

and died that night. The hummer<br />

zoomed off and there laid Tay and his<br />

friend. Victims of the streets.<br />
