Some crackhead asshole tried to mug me a few years ago in Seattle. I was outside smoking a cigarette when the guy creeps up behind me and hits me on the head with a hammer, twice. Being stunned for a split second, I stumble forward, gather my senses and turn around to see said crackhead coming after me with the hammer. After a short tussle I end up with the hammer but no longer have my glasses—so I’m pretty blind--, jacket or shirt on. It's January. A goddamn bus drove by as all of this was going down.
So there we are about ten feet apart in the middle of the street. I'm shirtless and can feel blood running down my shoulder, back and chest. Now that I have the hammer, my initial reaction is to rock him into the afterlife. As I start to move forward the guy puts his hand in his waistband says he's got a gun and demands my wallet. I tell him I don't have my wallet on me. He demands my wallet again. At this point I’m scared shitless and just want the situation to end immediately. I throw the hammer at the guy and book it around to the back door of my building, up to my apartment and call for an ambulance. It was almost comical how many cops showed up after telling them there was a violent black male who claimed to have a gun in the area, they brought dogs.
Later that night I was introduced to morpheme (wow) and learned they use staples to close head injuries, I required 11 of them. To top it all off the fucking ER doctor was trying to prescribe me Tylenol with codene. I nixed that idea immediately and demanded Vicodin. Stingy bastard.
It seems my saving grace was that this inbred had smoked himself into such a weakened state that he couldn't deliver a totally free knockout shot with a full sized hammer. I was wearing a cap which might have helped deflect the blows as well. And thank god he didn't hit my neck, use the clawed side of the hammer etc. Fucking crackheads.
