Wednesday Night

    It was a Wednesday night like any other and Gilyard was walking back to his apartment along Kentucky Street when a black SUV approached with a passenger hanging out the window. As it passes he yells, “You stupid fucking nigger!”

    The SUV continued on and Gilyard remained on the ground unsure of what was coming next and praying this was as far as the assailants would take it.
