Crime stories

Yeah, so I got mugged. Robbed at gun "point". I put scare quotes around "point" because, luckily, the gun was not pointed at me, just shown to me. But it was scary. Apparently, despite any macho fantasies one may have had previously, my brain was ready very quick to react as soon as it recognized the weapon. Wallet dropped, and feet engaged. Unfortunately, my eyes were not quite as with the program. I think I shut my eyes but my body went into action to escape. So I ran head first, or tripped into, or maybe I got hit, I don't know. I like to believe the "tripped while running" story, but anyway, I hit a short sign and gashed my head open during my escape.
