	I'd just passed the sixth month of my tenth year. For my birthday, I wanted two things: a Silver Flyer with the white lightning bolt sticker on the frame, and a helmet. In reality, I didn't want the helmet, but I figured if I asked for the helmet along with the bike, I might convince my parents that I was mature and responsible enough to own such an expensive—and adult even, to me anyway at the time—present. What I got instead was an axe. An axe and a promise.
