Everything Happens for a Reason
They say everything happens for a reason.
I opened our hotel door at 4 AM to see Derek (Cajun) with his left eye swollen shut, and blood dripping from his left ear.
He was smiling.
“Don’t worry man, I got ‘em!”, he said, as he walked to the bathroom to check himself out. “There were three of them, I broke the first one’s nose, I smashed the second one’s head against a wall…” he trailed off as he looked at his wounded eye.
“What about the third one”
“He got me”, said Derek, as he wiped the blood from his face.
Keychain was sharing the room with Derek and I; he gave me a concerned look.
“You need to get your ass to hospital” I said.
Derek was exploring the wounds on his scalp, “Yeah… I know.”
