Scarier than Halloween
This started off as the scariest Halloween that I’ve ever experienced. I’m not scared of very many things. This is a list of things that scare me:
- Sharks
- MS-13
Sharks are carnivorous sea creatures. MS-13 is a Salvadorian street gang. Both are known for savage murder. I wasn’t near the ocean, so fear number one was not a concern. Fear number two became a concern, when I found out where the Halloween party was.
The party was at a historic hotel next to MacArthur Park. I knew the park for its lake, and gang-related drug warfare. After finding hearing the location of the party, I developed a plan to avoid all trouble. Run up Alvarado, to Sixth, and dash into the party, without getting murdered. Easy-peasy. But things changed when we were invited to pre-party on Alvarado and 11th.
Alvarado and 11th is the heart of MS-13 territory!
