You were skinny eighth-graders back then, hanging out at a roadside kiosk in the summer. Wanting to feel like "grown-ups," you came up with the stupidest idea—asking someone to buy you cigarettes. You laughed, arguing with your friends about who would be the best, until you spotted a tall man in a leather jacket, with a short sideburn and a heavy gaze. He seemed ordinary.
