Abstract

On a bright sunny day in Brooklyn is where our story starts, where heat dazzles its inhabitants, where street thugs and hustlers hide in their street shops and apartments to avoid the blazing sun. Schools are closed; it is mid-July, the heat of New York City streets boiling even the most accustomed. Children stomp in almost nonexistent puddles or throw water on each other, while teenagers sit on corners or outside their apartments, the inside being too hot. It is a time where time seems to stand still; the days of summer all appearing the same as the same routine begins: wake up, get outside while it's still cool, and relax in the afternoon. Many sleep due to the insufferable heat and stench of the New York City streets; it is the heat that brings out the smell of every person that has ever walked NYC's streets, it is the heat that brings out every undesirable smell that has been worked into the concrete and gutters. It is the heat that undesirably makes everyone lounge around with hardly the will to do anything at all.

It is a day where Jeyontai, a young boy at the age of thirteen, lounges on the streets of Flatbush near Church Avenue. He walks down the streets, buzzing his face with a mini-fan in the long lost hope of cooling himself. He decides not to visit Modell's, as the place was big and hardly had any air-conditioning at all, and so continued onwards.
