I looked over the engineering books, but the inspiration wasn’t hitting me.
They all had some nice things, but I could never afford to create anything like this at my point of my life. I was some random Romani-American adoptee teenager living in the third largest city in the Badger State.
It was tough finding something that could work.
Then and only then did inspiration hit me when I looked at a nearby bulletin board loaded with local events (besides that bratty Kalyani having her concert, that is).
