Slept in the Subway Station

Hello, Dear Reader,


Can you imagine one day you are sleeping in the public subway station at midnight as a "HOMELESS"

Moreover, In the MOST "dangerous" city, New York.






If ONLY I KNEW this gonna happened, I would take a taxi to go home.

It was Ultimate Frisbee night I went to the Bronx for a Frisbee game from 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm. 

Usually, I would go back home (Queens) directly at 12 AM. 

But that day was special: The last game for the fall league before winter break.

So my teammates and I went to the bar near the filed to celebrate this successful league which is a traditional event basically.




We had a great time there and left the bar around 12:30 am.

Bronx is the riskiest area of New York where robbery, shooting and gang conflicts taking place every day.

But the next thing happened is the one I will never forget. 

As an adult, I didn't even care the time at the first place and sauntered in the street. 

Then suddenly, something hit me. 

I saw a drunk guy, and he was yelling at somebody else. 

I could barely understand his word but I could feel his anger and anxiety close and clearly. 

And along with that, there are homeless people all over the street, and the street looks dirty and messed.


 


Finally, I got into the subway and found a spot to sit and relax. 
There were few hard-working people in there. 

After two-hours intense activity, I was so tired and fell asleep right away. 

But when I woke up, I didn't even know where I was. 
I was delivered to the Brooklyn-Court Street Station which is 8 miles away from my home. 

And I was surrounded by two homeless people. 

One was sleeping on the seat just across me, and the other was staring at me at that moment. 

I was shocked and left the train on that station immediately.
