Flashback

As I look out the window of the Donut Shop I see flames coming from the Carnival down the street. I think to myself how could this be and as soon as I try to escape from this strange man in front of me, I see a Mr. Jose Guapo running too. Could he have started the fire? He is known for such things. Anyways, as I try to escape the man comes closer and he begins to speak. He says something about an autograph and I just stare blankly into his eyes. How could he know about my past? How could he know about who I had once been. I look outside to see that it had finally stopped raining and tried to use that as an excuse to get away. I quickly glance outside once more to see his shiny red car and I begin to think....
I tell the man to hold on while I walk out to get some fresh air. Outside felt muggy and humid. The perfect weather to do what I could do so well as a teen. I would have to be quick though I thought to myself. I look inside the Donut Shop to see him sitting and talking with the owner. I could see Jose going into Slickback's place and I decide to go for it. I break the window of the shiny red vehicle and unlock the door. I could feel the rush go through my body as I was reminded of my younger days. I did what I could to get the car started and pushed on the gas. I was doing it. I was doing what I had done before, so many times with friends. Only this time, it was me. Me, Bobby Scott, doing the unthinkable. As I turn to look back towards the now faded Donut Shop, all I could see was the blurring colors of the lights behind me.
