It was the late early aughts; mostly ok to be wearing a trilby. His eyes were Hypnotiq blue, with Carson Daly fingernails. Parliaments in his pocket. A Saving Abel song wafted like funnel cake sugar past the stuffed bears and Gravitron. The Crossroads Chili Cookoff had begun. The portal had opened.
