standing outside a 7-Eleven

some days he woke up in front of a convenience store

or maybe he was still sleeping and

this was all a dream. not a

nightmare because his

life in this little place in this

little state, was not interesting enough to

fit into the nightmare category.

The store was always a 7-Eleven, and there

were always

some kids outside, standing and

normally smoking. they scared him.

because he thought he could be one of them.

but then he realized that maybe they were

just dreaming, too.
