@queenofthegutsroad Liked for a starter!
Cibor walked out from the parts shop he had been visiting, a bag in tow with a scowl on his face. His parents had /forced/ him to come out and blow a sizeable chunk of their change to buy some damned skates???? It’s like they wanted to torture him or something! But still, he respected them enough to at least purchase them. Even if he had no desire to use them. He got enough exercise walking to and from school, but because he was late nearly every day, they insisted that if he wasn’t going to get his license, that he find a faster way to school.
Needless to say he ignored that for a while.
Then he came home one day and they sat him down with a check and a coupon telling him that they wanted him to exercise more, and that these new skates were “all the rage” with kids now a days. He loved his parents, but God could they be corny.
His thoughts continued to buzz as he walked down the street, distracted.
