It was late now, the sun was going down, barely a minute from night, John was walking home while kicking pebbles on his way, he was trying to forget about the failure, fixating on it wouldn't do him any good, sometimes, the best way to fix a problem was to not think about it for a bit. Something took him out of his thoughts, a loud exhaust noise coming from down street, "these people don't have any consideration for the rest of the world... well, some say the louder the car, more thugs are inside!" John thought, he hated open exhaust pipes, they made a terrible noise, and waked him up at night when the neighborhood thugs had their clandestine street races.
