Stray Bullet Holes

Nobody was hurt,  no harm was done, that is how this story starts and probably the most important detail. Is writing about gun violence allowed on wordpress? Seems risky to find out with a first post but it’s what’s on my mind since i noticed two bullet holes my child’s bedroom last weekend. They are at chest height for me, or if anyone was sitting at the desk it would go through their brain.  

Someone else reported it to the police and unfortunately I had to talk with them for a few minutes too. The maintenance guy is probably into guns, he viewed the room like a puzzle until he found the piece of bullet in the closet. I think the police called it “ballistics” now that is a cool word you must admit. The maintenance guy seemed chill and explained he would probably patch the outside first, then come fill the hole, “tomorrow” and I was very thankful

The property manager and I clashed a bit when she came over, it was our very first time meeting and let’s just say it was highly awkward and cringe!  I’m not sure how i rubbed her the wrong way, I guess when I tried to enforce a conversational boundary (some people are easily triggered by this) since I’ve been so anxious, heavily medicated and am just not in the mood to chat. But she seems to be a mega extrovert and verbal processing kinda dumb lady that doesn’t want to ever stfu! I told her first politely I’m not interested in talking about this with her anymore, but she wouldn’t stop! She was determined to tell me more gruesome detailed stories about local shootings and I told her “I’m not a therapist and” ….. I can’t remember my exact wording but something to the effect of…stop unloading on me! Maybe I said “I can’t help you” or just repeated that I don’t want to hear any more of her story.  My memory is affected by high levels of anxiety and panic ya know

Her voice got louder then and she made some weird vindictive comments. She tried suggesting in 3rd person language to the maintenance worker that I might not be able to remain in the unit with holes in the wall. I think she was trying to scare me, and having just met and seen my kids room, it was truly psycho of her 

I hope my housing isn’t getting disrupted bc I told this woman she is so unpleasant and annoying right to her face! At one point she said she didn’t like my tone so I left the room and still haven’t calmed down (it’s been a few days now). My tone was fine, I think she disliked the content of my sentences though. I didn’t curse or shout, at all. Also…it’s all true 😂 

The bullet holes were supposed to be repaired the next day they said, but it’s been almost a week and nobody had been back. I’ve just kept that room closed, and feel sick or panic when i look inside.  Every time I leave my apartment I hope I’ll return to find it fixed but I’m disappointed instead and getting more upset each day 

My daughter is staying somewhere else and has only seen the pics. We keep in touch messaging or meet at the mall.  I’m going to find out somehow to file a complaint, hire a witch to make a binding spell, or whatever else could be done. Maybe i will see about having the bullethole repaired myself and deduct from the rent whatever it costs idk idk

As scary as it is to consider the bulletholes flying through my wall and across the room into a closet I swear the worst part of this has been my brief conversation meeting that property manager
