I sat in the passenger seat of a stranger's truck as we pulled off the road into what seemed like a vacant parking lot. My window was down and it was nice outside. I heard a young voice call out:

"Excuse me"

I looked up to see a 5 year old african american boy trying for my attention . I made eye contact with him and he asked a good question.

"You ever shot a man?"

"What's that?" I asked, sure that I heard him wrong.

He pointed down at the asphalt and then nothing more was said. I didn't see anything on the ground so I can only assume he was threatening me.
