He woke up with the light of the morning. It filled his whole room. Which under normal use was the living room. Not made for sleep. He assumed Johnny probably had black out curtains or something. There were things strewn around the room. Flashcards and different books study aides. There...

"This is why I love it here." Johnny yelled the heat from his voice on Max's face smelt of beer and a shot of tequila they just had. 

"Maple syrup flavored tequila." He said again. 

It was an odd mix of people. Attractive young people in one booth. Old men...

“One second.” Max said dodging johnnys embrace.

“One second, uh there was a spill sorry, where’s your bathroom?”

Max walked quickly towards the back and went into the bathroom. The restaurant was nice enough but the bathroom was too bright. A bluish white light cast everywhere. He was surrounded, enveloped in it....

There while he was parking in the street a man called out to him.

"You know there's free parking over there. Just two streets up. You'll see it, theres no signs there so you can park for free."

"Woah...Uh" Max looked at his steering wheel. He had parked perfectly. He was ready...
