TABLE OF CONTENTS
Okay, Jayplay readers. Lean in. I'm going to tell you a secret. My senior year of high school, someone ran a four-way stop and totaled my first car. Just weeks later, I was driving my hand-medown Camry on my way to Hastings, when I too carelessly damaged another vehicle. I could hear a slight crunch over the sound of my stereo as I pulled in next to the teal Neon. I got out of the car, examined the foot-long shallow gash, and decided not to leave a note or wait for the owner to return, but to head into the store and rent a movie.I don't know why I didn't face the situation. I was afraid and spineless. Read about Jared Duncan's similar secret on pg. 15. As we put together this issue, other unnamed Jayplay staffers confessed to lying about the circumstances of car accidents too. Take it from Jared and us — the guilt isn't worth escaping punishment. Also be sure to check out Alaide Vilchis Ibarra's profile of a bus driver with the gift of gab on pg. 4, and the next time you hop off of a bus, tip the karmic scales your way by saying thank you.
