Glad to be alive

What has our city become? What's with all this shooting insanity? And when will the horror end?

I stumbled out of HMV by Yonge and Dundas literally minutes after the shootings. I could've been one of those innocent bystanders! It took a while before I fully grasped what had transpired.

I slid into Sam the Record Man (through the side-entrance on Gould Street) to distract and protect myself, as police lines cordoned off the area with yellow tape. Only once inside did I find out just what had transpired.

My mom called me minutes after she heard about it on the 6 o'clock news, making sure I was okay. Hours later, I look back on the evening's events and consider myself lucky to be alive.
