My Death

As I was walking around Mexico city amazed by the chaos that people live with daily, I began to reflect back upon my life in America and compare the two places. Suddenly, I heard people screaming and some running out of a small door that seemed almost impossible to be a store or business. The dramatic people provoked me to go in and see what has happened, thus as I walked closer to the crowd, I began to hear little whispers and people pointing. Slowly walking in, there was complete silence and some select few in the corner laughing and talking. The only light available was in the middle of the room and as I walked in, I saw hay and a fenced circle. Thoughts began to flow in my mind and my imagination got to me until I saw the dead man. As I was shocked, I asked one of the locals about the situation and they told me that they hold these fights for entertainment and the fighters are gambled. This man who died, Andrew, was a crowd favorite and was fighting as his job to support his family. Consequently, today he faced his death and most people think its because of the nasal bone getting punch up into the nerves of the brain.
