Big Smoke: A Short Story

It was a dark quiet night in the streets of Compton. There was a slight breeze along with shattering glass under the heavy boots of Big Smoke, who was being pursued by a gang he betrayed. He's been hiding for the past 2 weeks and now he's cornered. He will never forget the things he did to be hunted down like a wild animal. It all started when Big Smoke was playing basketball in downtown with his crew Jose, Nick, and Jayden. Smoke owed a top class drug dealer, Tre baker, thousands of dollars.
