1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

His eyes flickered open and he could see the clear blue sky above him. He felt a little woozy and he sat up as a cool, late spring breeze caressed his skin. He let out a big breath and glanced around the park.
"Well, look who it is," Aqua stated as she approached.
"C'mon Max," Suki said. "We're heading to Kelly's to meet up with the gang and get some grub."
"You girls okay?" Max asked of them as Aqua helped him up.
"Yeah," Aqua said. "I had this strange dream this morning though..."
"Tell me over breakfast," Max said as they began to walk across the park.
"Yo Max," Suki said. "I think you forgot something."
Max looked back and saw the pack of smokes on the grass; he walked back and picked them up and looked at them. It was a brand new pack, unopened. He looked up at the skyline and back at the girls and to the surprise of the girls he crushed the pack in his hands.
"Well, now," Aqua said. "I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks."
They headed to the gateway and Max tossed the cigarette pack into a garbage bin.
"Today is a new day," Max said. "Breakfast is on me!"
