Prologue.

There's this place, you know, that one behind the hardware store. Relying on my sixth sense, I've always avoided it. It's a place to hang... for those rebellious-looking kids. I don't know if they do drugs. I don't know if they drink alcohol. I don't know if they screw around. Truthfully, I don't know but I'm a person and I have my suspicions. Everybody suspects it and you can thank their image for that.

I nervously ventured around the store. Stupid game of truth and dare.

At first glance, there were a few lifeless people threatening to disappear behind the shadows of the hardware building. They wore shorts, which easily could've been mistaken for trousers, and sat on scrawny skateboards. But what I couldn't see was beer cans and there were no joints in their palms.

I exposed myself further, walking some more so they had full vision of this fool. "Zachary Hanson at your service," I explained, giving an over-exaggerated bow. "And while I'm present, would anybody like an autograph?" Why did I, of all people, have to be dared, such a dreadful dare?

In response one cute chick, who was sitting on the lap of some guy, answered for the whole gang. "Piss off, yer wank."

That was all I needed to hear, because the next second, I was out of there! Besides, I'd already done my dare, time for revenge.

Slice one...
