From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Sight

I’m hunched in the passenger seat, staring through my neon-green fidget spinner at the gas station sign flashing **$2.43**, wondering if I’ll ever afford enough fuel to just drive away from this town. My reflection in the window is all messy layers and irony, perfectly captured by the viral "Shape of You" beat thumping from the speakers while I ignore my dad’s weird Facebook posts. Everything feels like a total fever dream, a real **covfefe** moment of absolute nonsensical chaos, as I squint at my Nintendo Switch and try not to get sniped in Fortnite. Between the oversaturated glare of the gas station lights and the yellow movie posters for the new Disney flick, the world looks way too polished for how bored I actually am.
