John whistled a complicated tune, his fingers drumming a happy rhythm against his thigh. He felt absolutely amazing, the sensation coursing through his body like electricity. He felt invincible, like he could do anything.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road!" he yelled, his voice carrying clearly across the quiet street. He couldn’t wait to see the old place turn to dust.
