It's too damn cold of a day to be out ona hunt.
I shiver, tug my scarf up higher over my
mouth, and wipe a few snowflakes from my lashes.
Then I slam my boot down on my electric
skateboard. The board is old and used, like
everything else I own, its blue paint almost
entirely scraped off to reveal cheap silver plastic
underneath—but it’s not dead yet, and when I
push my heel down harder, it finally responds,
jerking me forward as I squeeze between two rows
of cars. My bright, rainbow-dyed hair whips across
my face.
“Hey!” a driver yells as I maneuver past his
car. I glance over my shoulder to see him waving a
fist at me through his open window. “You almost
dipped me!”
