I was in a mechanic shop sitting in the waiting lounge. The head mechanic was at the front desk writing something. Through the wall I heard the sounds of metal clanking and power tools buzzing. Suddenly, a man bursts through the front door with blood streaming down his face. He starts yelling to call for help. About four seconds later two men come chasing after him. They try to corner the bleeding man against the wall. One of them grabs a hammer off the display and the other a shovel. They lean in close. Suddenly the head mechanic tells them both to get on the floor as he is pointing a handgun to the two attackers. I step out and call the police. The police arrive fifteen later. Someone could have been killed fifteen times over, that response time was unacceptable. The police asked some questions and made some arrests. After everything was over I payed what I owed, and left.
These types of real life experiences are what influences writers to branch out an entire storyline. Never take odd moments in life for granted.
