Getting shot at in Hialeah

I went to Danny’s house after work…I had been playing OOTPX, and we were discussing the 1996 Yankees and Andy Pettitte. I was discussing how great Andy did in his rookie year in 1996. However, when I got to his place in Miami, he had too many family members there, and I felt uncomfortable because he was pretty much out of sight, and taking care of family duties for his wife and daughters (and their friends and cousins).

I wanted to go home, and didn’t have my car, so I had to figure out the buses. I was walking in people’s backyards, and there was a lot of traffic even in the residential side-streets in Hialeah. I felt exposed.

I pressed F2 to see which bus route would get me back to Broward- heck, I didn’t care what part of Broward, just get me to close to home, and I’ll walk it.

I couldn’t remember if it was the 25 or the 35 bus.

Then I remembered something very important: Andy Pettitte’s year was 1995, not 1996. So I hustled back to Danny’s place. The large crowd kinda was thin now, and he was in a bathrobe, and his body was covered in thick hair. His mustache was drooping, and he looked like Saddam Hussein after Saddam was captured. So I told him about the 1995/1996 issue, and confirmed where I have to catch my bus.

As the sun was beginning to set, there were a lot of hoodlums roaming the streets. I was avoiding gun shots. They were shooting at me, shooting at each other, and the streets were populated by female prostitutes, thieves, and transsexuals; it was total anarchy.

I tried sitting at a bus stop, and pressed F3 to bring up a map, but I was getting nervous, and strange women started to talk to me. I made a quick webcam video of myself talking to one, with Mexican music. My wife thought it was funny, although I suspected she was being polite. Heck, she wasn’t even there, but she saw it somehow.

So I got up and tried “walking it”. More gang members shot at me, and I was walking near one of those generic man-made canals here in Florida. I wanted to jump in, but was too afraid. I ran onto a small highway (actually it looked like near Hiatus and Commercial near the expressway) and saw a bus stopping, but when I got there it kept going. So I ran to catch it. Was it even the right one? I’m lost.

Then I woke up to THUNDER.
