    Assaulted outside of Wal-Mart by "cop"

    I've only been in two Walmarts ever, both near RIT. Haven't even seen one in this state and lived just fine for 7 months without doing so.

    I haven't been separated from my parents for more than 4 days for my whole life until I went to RIT. I spent breaks and summers at home. After I graduated, I stayed at my parents' to get a license and find a job. When I got the job, I moved to this state.

    I've had one surgery that was a quick one, about half an hour to an hour when I was a kid. The last thing I remember was them squirting a yucky liquid into my mouth. I don't even remember waking up.
