I was jogging through the park one brisk March evening, when I came across something other-worldly. Two boys, no older than 20, stood across from each other with flashlights in their mouths—not moving an inch.
My first thought was something out of science fiction. My second was that these boys were part of something sinister. But before I could have a third thought, a third friend ran out from the bushes, laughing and holding a camera. The two boys pulled the flashlights from their mouths to laugh with their friend, before they all ran away.
Kids these days are as creative as ever.
