I leave work before the sun even thinks of getting up. Friday morning, someone started ringing my doorbell repeatedly just as I was about to leave. I freaked out because I had only woken up 7 minutes before, so I was still drowsy and couldn't imagine who on earth (other thaan a murderer) would be ringing my doorbell at 4:40.
I ran upstairs, woke up my dad and had him go down and answer the door. (Yes, I am a chicken)Talking to my mom, I found out that an hour before somone fired 6 shots in my neighborhood. Yikes! After heading back downstairs, I found out it was a cop who was talking to my dad just making sure that everyone in our house was okay.
I went out to the car to leave, and for some reason the inside light didn't come on when I unlocked it like it normally does. I got scared and had my dad check the trunk for gun-brandishing bandits because he was standing in the driveway. I couldn't find the button to pop the trunk inside the car for a while since it was dark, so I just kept pressing things. Finally, it opened and no one was inside, so I left for work.
Driving on the freeway I realized that in my effort to open the trunk I had opened the hood instead and it was threatening to come up. Luckily there's an extra safety latch you have to press on the hood itself to open it, so it doesn't do things like fly up onto your windshield if you accidentally press it while driving on the freeway, and I made it to work without further incident.
P.S. Apparently the cops found the casings and think it was something random because we live close to the freeway. Great.... that makes me feel safe....
