This is a short story about a man who had a cocky attitude. He lived his life looking down at others. He soon learned that he’s not above the law and above the people.
Robert was a very handsome man and he knew it. He had many girlfriends and was adored by his mother. Robert made the best grades in high school and college. He had a nasty attitude. He would laugh at people who lived in wooden homes and those who drove inexpensive cars. If Robert came across money he would ask people if they were in need and throw his money at them.
One day Robert was driving around in his new Bently. He would drive by homeless people and yell losers at them. Robert stopped at a convience store, he walked in and yelled at the owner to change his skin color. The owner frowned and spoke in a soft voice profanities towards Robert. Robert would laugh and pick up some juice and a donut. He threw the money at the owner and yelled loser.
When Robert walked out of the convenience store he noticed someone leaning on his precious Bentley. He yelled at the person to get away from his car. He just laughed at Robert. He became very irate and pulled out his juice and poured it on the guy. Robert began to walk towards the drivers side of his car. The guy yelled at Robert to stop. Robert stopped and said to the gentleman , you are in for a rude awakening. The man laughed and said; I believe that you are in for a nightmare.
Robert looked stunned and moved the man out of the way and drove off in his precious Bentley. As soon as Robert reached the stop sign three police cars blocked him. They told him to get out of the car. Robert yelled profanities at them. They screamed at him again and advised him to get out of the car or they will shoot. Robert laughed and before he could blink his eyes shoots were released and Robert was shot three times in the chest and twice in the back of the neck. Robert climbed out of his car and looked at one of the cops. One of the cops looked like the homeless man he called loser, the other looked like the convenience store owner and the other looked like the man that was leaning on his car.
Robert was involved in a nightmare and before he fell to the ground he thought about all of the people he mistreated in his life. He also thought about how cocky he was all through his life. Perhaps Robert should have been a nicer and full of a humble spirit. RIP Robert!
