Monday, July 31st, 1820 was the exact day we were all supposed to be dead, think of it as an expiration date the government put us on as a result of being black.
I was 17 at the time looking for a way to save my family from this horrendous cruel act. China's killings were on the highrise at the time and I was a slave to an old white man by the name of Clyde Florence.
He had a pretty, naive 19-year-old wife who was constantly getting abused by him. The young lady and I became great friends until my Master realized and took things into his own hands.
At night He snooks into the barn with a knife in one hand and the other unbuckling his belt he slowly whispered " Since you, my wife became good friends I'ma show you what it means to be a white man's wife".
I sprinted to the woods while Elena the wife shouted my name I was able to climb up a tree and lay on a branch, suddenly I heard a scream!!"Stop Clyde, put the shotgun down there's no reason to kill her". Clyde shoved them to the ground and she fell so hard she began crying, he angrily replied by saying" I should have killed her the first time I bought her from the black market, now get up you stupid girl"!!.
He walked away leaving his wife hurt, hopeless on the ground I couldn't bare to watch my best friend crying so I slowly whispered to her
"Elena over here it's time for you to escape don't look back build a life and I'll see you someday"(but) run Elena run!!.
Clyde look around and he struggled to run after her so he stopped and looked around the search of me I fell and pick up a huge rock and ran until I found a pond.
He followed me rage in his eyes "oh look it's time for you to die".
Hid behind gasping for air then Clyde came looking at the pond so I use the Rock and I hit him from the back of his head he fell with his hands on his head he quickly grabbed my legs I fell then he was crawling to get to the shotgun so I kicked and I him to try to get the shotgun my hand was the first one to reach it so I grabbed it jumped up and I was aimed for his head
"Oh, sweet girl I know you're so scared to even kill me you're too weak".
She shouted" I'm not a weak little girl that you can walk over"
he started laughing and she pressed the trigger in anger and as it went off she flinched with teardrops in her eyes.
she flings the gun in the pound and sprinted to the main road she begged a white young man for a ride and he laughed and kicked her.
then she spotted Elena with the chief and two other males they all ran to her and grabbed her
"what's going on Elena what are you doing stop Elena help"!!
she looked away while the chief thanked her for finding a killer turns out Elena was promised 1 million dollars for catching the killer of Megan Ross I never knew who that was I got 10 years in prison.
