We Lit The Fire And It's Burning Bright

Temper's POV

I need some fresh air, so I run downtown and go to a local Starbucks and order an espresso.

"I need it, and I need it quick," I inform.

Once I pick it up, I rush to the comic book store. Nothing like a local store, calm stocked with a bunch of Wolverine. Maybe I'll get myself one of those and one of the Amazing Spiderman.

Pushing the door open, I can hear a small bell ring. The sound and the fresh papery scents soothe my senses as I walk to the back of the shop. Behind me, I see a cashier conversing with a guy up front. I smirk, noticing the teen's Maiden tee.

"Hey you," I call out to him. He seems surprised, and scratches his forehead. "Huh?"

"Nice tee," I compliment. "Where'd you get it?"

"Prism. It's a store downtown," he answered. "You like Iron Maiden?"

"Smashing Pumpkins, The Oasis, Metallica, Black Sabbath, too. Going to the Sabbath concert soon."

The cashier laughed. "How is this so...coincidental?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well," he responded. "We're going to that concert too."

"Fuck, that's creepy," I chuckle.

"By creepy, do you mean awesome?" the boy asked.

"I guess so," I nod.
