There was going to be a “PE exam” at 12 “mach 8″*. We had been driving on a highway that went through the mountains until we reached a rest area that overlooked the ocean. There was still time so I went in the convenience store which turned out to be rather crowded. I remember taking two bags of candy and putting them in my backpack - not with the intention to shoplift but merely so my hands were free to do other things. I walked to the back of the store and found nothing of interest until someone asked me to help them open a bottle of red wine. I agreed but when I looked at the opener, it was more like a short pin rather than a corkscrew. After poking the cork a few times, I found and resorted to a two-pronged opener that was laying on the side. After opening the bottle and handing it back, I wandered around the cashier until I looked at my watch and saw that it was 12:17. I froze for a moment before panicking and heading out.
