the man in the Northeastern sweatshirt - a drabble of 100 words

The man in the Northeastern sweatshirt lengthened his stride and twisted the volume wheel on the side of his Walkman as loud as it would go. He was not any old middle-aged speedwalker. he had once been a politician, and almost a lion tamer, back in his prime. He could quote all of Shakespeare's King Lear backwards from memory. He was young. He was cool. He was hip. His unshod feet pounded the pavement to the beat of Kid Cudi.
He did not notice as the children laughed and pointed at his sparkly pajamas.
