As he was walking a couple of guys spotted him and said,” Hey that’s the guy who talks to himself. They walk over with a swift motion and meet up with him near an alley. They start surrounding John and force him into that dark and gloomy alley. They start taunting john as he was slowly backing up into the abyss of darkness. One of the guys start shoving John, which makes john furious and makes him throw a punch which misses. Then one of the four guys grabs John’s legs and slams him into the ground injuring his back.

John, who is very badly injured, gets up and continues to limp home.
