the memories of june 12, 2016. brandon was inside the club s bathroom when a gunman opened fire on the dance floor. music was still playing. and about a dozen people rushed in the door panicked. they weren t screaming, but their eyes were screaming if that makes sense. and i remember them crouching on the floor saying there was a man with a gun. and there was this furious debate about whether we should hide or run. but we were in a men s only restroom with no stalls and no doors. so the only option was to run. brandon escaping through a back door. his two best friends, juan and drew, were on the dance floor at the time and didn t stand a chance. they were among the 49 people killed and more than 50 others were injured. i m curious where everybody is at this level.
