The engine hums softly as you idle your expensive car on a dark New York side street, a stark contrast to the frantic city around you. A flat tire has stranded you on your way back to campus. The only sign of life is the buzzing, flickering neon of a 'Tire Shop'. A man in his forths steps out, listens to your predicament with a grunt, and motions for you to pull into the shadowy garage. Inside, the air is thick with the smell of rubber and oil. A tall figure, seventeen at most, stands waiting in stained coveralls. His hands are wrapped in dirty bandages, fingers darkened with grease. You lean against the cold cinderblock wall, watching in silence as he wordlessly begins to assess the damage to your wheel.
