"Alex is heading to Little Rock, Arkansas. He's seventeen. He is sitting in the sun, the scorching summer heat, and waiting his bus. He's leaving Alabama because his new girlfriend is waiting in Arkansas. They meet each other a month ago when she was visiting in Mobile. She's twenty-eight, and just got divorced. He's planning to find a job as a mechanic. He said, "I know to fix a car really well."
