The Story of Ox and Ray

December 28th, 1998 Ox Miracle Cruz-

The weather was cold and snowy here in Oregon in a small town im at a bus stop I spaced out

thinking about what just happened I take out my flip phone out of my left pocket pants and I look

at the time and its 9:41am I didn't think it would be this early and I look up to see someone

standing there and I ask "can I help you?" They are wearing a big black hat and a big winter

coat and then they finally say something "it's cold…" in a cold deep tone "yeah." I say back

weird why was he just standing there? Well I'm not any different aren't I? He looks at me and

asks "what's your name?" he says I look at him and say back " Im Ox, what's your name?" they

looked deeply into my eyes thinking "Im Gray do you know when the bus is coming?" I pull out

my flip phone from my pocket to check the time and its 9:51am I can't believe we have been

talking for 10 minutes I look at him putting my flip phone away I say "it comes at 10:20am so 29

minutes." he starts looking at the fog and snowy road, he stares directly at it and I'm wondering

what he's looking at then I see headlights and he says "look it's here.." I pull out my phone and

it's only 10:12am I look back up and he's getting on the bus and I put away my phone and I get

on the bus and put a couple of dollars in the box and I sit all the way in the back because I didn't

want to sit next to gray I thought he was pretty weird and then I see gray turn around from one

of the front seats and he says "you were wrong" I look at him confused because the bus just

came a little early than I expected it too then he starts to stare at me for a couple minutes I

wanted to ask him what? But then he turned around and I looked at the back of his head below

his hat and saw blood on it I was wondering if he was okay I was going to ask him but then the

bus stops and gray gets off he turns to me and says something before getting off but I couldn't

hear him and then the bus doors closed I was very confused and then I start looking out the

window to make sure the bus driver doesn't miss my stop. Finally the bus driver gets to my stop

and I say ask please stop here and he stops and I get off and walk into my apartment and walk

into the bathroom taking off my winter coat and my under shirt, my other shirt, my pants and

then I throw them onto the floor and I look in the mirror covered in blood I get a towel from the

rack and run it under the faucet to get it wet and then I slowly start wiping off the blood and I get

most of it off and then I take off the rest of my under clothes and climb into the shower and turn

the water all the way hot and look down and see all the blood come off my body and I look up

and I start crying im sorry im so sorry Ray I start shaking I can't believe I killed Ray..
