The Neighborhood

When I grew a little older, meaning not going to the village playground and playing with all the other little kids anymore, I stopped going out of the house to hangout around the neighborhood.

One afternoon I went to the store near my house.

My plan was that I was going to buy a pack of cigarettes and then head home to smoke. When I got there, a group of people with ages ranging from a little younger than me to a little older than me were hanging out. 


One of them called out to me. It turns out she was my classmate when we were little kids.  I sat with them and she introduced me to the whole bunch.  We all clicked and talked about a lot of stuff.  We exchanged numbers and the store near my house became the place to be for the whole summer.
