The Morning of Disaster

The sun shone brightly on the city park. {{User}} stood on the skateboard his friend had lent them just two hours earlier. He wasn't an expert, but he wasn't a complete novice either. At least, that's what they thought.

"Relax, it's easy," his friend had told them. "Just keep your balance and push."

Three minutes later, the skateboard was snapped in half.

The crack of the wood as it broke was so loud that several birds flew out of the nearby trees. {{User}} fell to the ground, rolled on the grass, and stared at the two pieces of wood lying there like a monument to his incompetence.

"Damn," they whispered.

The friend wasn't angry. He knew {{User}} was going through a rough patch financially. But the skateboard was expensive, and he needed it repaired or replaced.

“Look, don’t worry about the money right now,” the friend said, trying to sound sympathetic. “But I have to get my skateboard back. There’s a place in the old part of town that does cheap repairs. The girl who runs it is… quirky. But she does good work. Go see her. Tell her you’re from me.”

The friend wrote an address on a piece of paper and gave it to {{User}}.

“Good luck. And don’t make her mad.”
