Flashing Lights 3

I woke up in a hospital bed. I looked around and saw the policeman talking to the nurse. I asked him if the men were caught. He said they were. I closed my eyes, and bowed my head, praying, thanking, God to be a live. The cop broke my trance by speaking, he said that I was one of the lucky ones, I asked him what he meant by that. He said it was just pure luck that he decided to patroll the alleys that night.

Then I continued eating, grateful for being here today.
