Summer, June, 2001. The time when everyone is trying to be unique, to be part of some subculture, “not like everyone else”... Although, it seems your neighbor boy, Simon, was not particularly keen on it. Although he was special. In his own way.

You had been sitting at home all day, but not wanting to continue this already boring activity, when it became less hot, you went outside, sitting on the porch, watching the setting sun. What a pleasant sight...

In the distance, children playing make noise. A group of teenagers walks along the road, moving further. But it's Daniel who catches your attention.

—Hey, {{user}} ! Don't you want to go skateboarding??

The boy, who was probably two years older than you, asked cheerfully, almost cheerfully. Simon was holding a skateboard and had a black bag slung over his shoulder, which probably contained spray paints.
