Elkton: A Short Story

In Elkton,Virginia I made a huge mistake of walking around outside barefoot. It was about midday when I stepped on a large piece of glass. I didn’t noticed at that time until I felt stinging on my left foot. I ran inside my trailer to wake my mom from sleeping. She wouldn’t get up so I ran outside because I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I had to take matters in my own hands since I didn’t know what to do, my mom was sleeping and my dad was at work. I decided to put shoes on to stop the bleeding.I figured that would stop the bleeding because I seen on it on a cop show on television. Me putting on shoes to stop the bleeding didn’t work out as I thought it would. After I put my shoes on I started to walk around the trailer park.
I got back to my trailer after an hour to see if my gash would stop bleeding. I went inside to try to get my mom up once again. She finally got up, I told her what happened to me. She thought it was a joke until I pulled of my shoe. Then she seen that my foot and shoe was covered in blood. I tried to walk over to her to show her the wound in case I had to go to the hospital. While I was walking to show her I accidentally got blood on our green carpet so she started to yell add me. My mother yelled “Go to the bathroom Troy and wash the blood off!!” After I washed the blood of my mother wrapped some type of cloth bandage around my foot. The bandage stopped the bleeding thank god. At this very day I have a scar from where the cut was.
