This interlude isn’t a story — it’s a moment of reflection.

In Why I Tell These Stories, Quasi Lewis shares the intention behind True Stories: the memories that linger, the moments that shape us, and the instinct to walk away when something doesn’t feel right.

Sometimes the story isn’t what happened — it’s why it stayed with you.

It started like any other night — friends, video games, laughter, and trash talk.

But when a harmless bet turns into real money, the mood shifts. The room goes quiet. Pride takes over. And suddenly, walking away isn’t so simple.

My Friends is a true story by Quasi Lewis about growing up fast, trusting the wrong people, and the instinct that saved his life. A reflection on loyalty, pressure, and the thin line between friendship and danger.

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t winning — it’s leaving.

What starts as a normal day after school turns into a quiet nightmare when loyalty, fear, and street reality collide. Caught in the aftermath of someone else’s choices, I learn how close proximity to danger can change everything — and how one decision, one adult, and one moment of mercy can alter a life.

Written and narrated by Quasi Lewis

One night. One stop. One misunderstanding.

A true story about a late-night run in Florida that takes a sudden turn when police lights cut through the darkness. Quiet, tense, and unforgettable.
