After the sound and the muzzle flash of the weapon, I discovered I was still standing.
I took this as a good omen until the moment I wiped my eyes clear of the blood and the
other debris that was covering my face.
It was then I noticed a 3" piece of bone extending out of my left eyebrow.
The left side of my head was numb, and like most head wounds, it just kept bleeding and bleeding.
I didn't want to touch it, and since I was still breathing, my first thought was to retrieve my gun.
But, before I could do that, I had to stop the blood from flowing into my eyes.
I ended up with my right hand, palm down, in the position of either a lousy salute or 'like one'
might do while trying to shield, his or her eyes, from the sun.
I could feel the bone fragment on the top of my knuckles.
One of the fingers on my left hand hurt like hell.
I looked down at my hand and the end of my little finger was formed like a right triangle.
(It still looks like that, but the bleeding did stop)
Just Great
I then glanced down next to me and noticed my attacker was dead.
No head dead dead.
To describe his condition would be pointless.
My priority was to pick my gun up, off the ground, and spin around in a 360-degree circle.
I had to make sure my only witnesses (junkies and their dealers) hadn't decided to
get a little' frisky'.
I had few friends in the city, and none in that park.
I found my gun in the dirt, but for a moment, I couldn't decide which hand to pick it up with.
I chose my 'left', even though it hurt like hell. I did not want to remove my right hand, due
to the bleeding, and I definitely didn't want to look at that damn protruding piece of bone again.
Shit! I have to drop the gun. I don't like giving up my gun.
My portable Motorola was on the ground, gooie, but still functional.
I called in a 940A.
Short, clear and to the point. I drop the mobile back in the dirt.
I want my gun, back in my hand.
At the time, a 940A meant: "Please send help RIGHT NOW! or I'm going to die".
There are 2 codes used in police work. A 9-code and a 10-code.
With the 9 codes, normal assistance was a called a: 940
An unofficial call sign: 940B had been 'made-up' by patrol officers, in my class, so we wouldn't
be considered punks/sissies/etc., if, the situation ended up; not warranting such backup.
It was a steep learning curve and quite different from police procedure now.
Budgetary constraints and 'macho' perceptions from the 'young-guns' helped drive the
dynamics of this dangerous and silly 'new' call sign.
My life and job had just turned to shit so I didn't care what the fuck anyone thought. At the
moment I just wanted some friends and a little help.
The first officer to arrive was from the beat adjacent to mine. He had been on the force for only
3 months. Upon his arrival, he gets out of his car and takes a look at me and at the dead man.
He then, promptly threw up all over his blouse and pants.
Just Great!
I yelled at him: "Get it together 114!" "I've just fucked myself here" Round up every god dam person
in the park" Cuff-um, Shoot-um, I don't give a fuck!" "Just start laying them down on the lawn"
I found myself going back to a 'bad place' and wanting to just hose the entire area down.
(This didn't make it to the official report of course, because I handled everything so professionally).
I had never heard so many sirens go off at one time in the city, until after my request for help.
It invigorated me. I thought to myself "Cool" "I got friends coming" "And they are coming heavy"
Stay on your feet. Stay on your feet. Don't sit down Joedaddy. *Keep moving. *Keep moving.
The second officer that arrived was a Sergeant from the traffic division.
He did the same thing as 114, but instead of throwing up, he makes the 'sign of the cross' with
his hand in front of himself.
Just Great.
Before I could say something stupid to the Sgt., a ray of sunshine; a 14yr old boy, emerges
from the same bush my attacker had just come out of.
The kid was wearing only soiled underpants.
He was crying and pleading with me not to shoot him.
I know "ray of sunshine" might sound a little brutal to you but it was an honest thought and
feeling at that moment.
I didn't care who he was.
I didn't care if he had been a willing or unwilling participant.
I didn't care if he was physically or mentally injured.
I had my answer to: "Why?"
I just didn't have time, for anything else.
I was hurt.

I'm extremely confused. If you got shot, how did his head explode? Or, if you shot him, what happened to your head?

French Soldier-"Do you happen to know the exact number of US troops required to defend
America?"
US General- "Why no, I don't"
French Soldier- "That's OK no one does"
US General- "Why not?"
French Soldier- "Because America never engaged in a land war on its own territory except for civil wars which don't count and in which they recieved tremendous amount of help. On top of that, America has never won a war on its own except against third world countries or joined the winning side of ongoing wars."
US General: "Isn't that a bit unfair, considering the contexts and our involvment which was still significant"
French Soldier: "Of course, but you guys won't stop making retarded military pissing contests"
US General: "Then it that case, let us all shut the fuck up and be allies"
French Soldier: "Hurray!"

"And do you know what the saddest thing is about that?
You could not do anything to prevent it from happening."
Your mother should have aborted your crippled fetus. I have never heard such a faggoty-ass faggot run at the suck like you do. I'll bet you get worked more often then RADTHEFAG, and he gets his ass-kicked quite often. You little bitch.

With over 1500 well placed reviews in the bank I think I just got fed up with the process.
That coupled with the fact, that at my age, I have no business being here.
Good Luck in Uber III

Well, shit airborne! You just need to have a beer or 30, smoke a smoke or 30, and come on back when you feel like it. Brother, your real life shit outshines anyone else's fiction on here. I hope you decide to come back eventually.

"To describe his condition would be pointless."
My friend, this right here, for some reason, seemed to me to be the best line you have ever written on Uber. Great post.
You easily got one of my votes for Ubermadness. Your style may be not the most "polished" (all those years of typing police reports gets one set in their ways, i'm sure), but you are a damn fine storyteller, with a lot of stories to tell.
i look forward to hearing more.

Ry "Cooter"? *giggle* rhymes with 'hooters'... he sounds vurry, vurry talented. A bit like Neil Old. ;)
How old are you Joe, if you don't mind me asking? I seem to remember a review of your's to a Matthew Williamsuck post referring to 'Nam? You are quite possibly teh oldest person on Uber, closely followed by Shlongy, my good self and Big Mike. Which is fine of course, considering your gun and all.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE shoot HadToBeDone. He's in Orlando - right now, you could be there in a couple of hours.
