20 minutes ago I was three blocks north of my apartment picking up some soup from my favorite little hole in the wall Vegan Thai Restaurant.

15 minutes ago I was one block north of my apartment coming out of my local bodega after talking to the owner and buying some eggs, which I wanted to have for breakfast tomorrow.

12 minutes ago I was coming back into my apartment when I heard three rounds of gunfire from outside.

10 minutes ago I was back down on the street. (I understand this is the point where you might call me an idiot, but if there was gunfire outside my apartment, I had to know it.)

7 minutes ago I was standing outside my local bodega while the other patron who was in there when I was (a few minutes earlier) told two cops about how he stepped outside the store and the guy standing next to him pulled out a gun and started shooting at a group of kids across the street, who returned fire.

3 minutes ago I came back into my apartment and sat down at my desk.

9:47PM hit return.
