Who is afflicted?

Jack, a 20 year old graphic designer and logo enthusiast

It seemed like an average day for Jack. He was in his apartment, just drawing some new logos. It was the summer holidays so Jack had no college and what better to do with all this free time than to just do a spot of drawing?

His current project was his own redesigns of all the Channel 4 Network logos. (Channel 4, for those who don’t know, is a British television network) There was E4, More4, 4Music, Film4 and 4Seven. However, Jack was feeling a bit stuck. He had just been hit with artist’s block.

Since Jack had just moved into Maddington, he didn’t really know anyone else who lived there. So, he decided to have a break and come back to it later. “Hmm...maybe I should go for a walk...” he thought to himself as he got up and walked out of his apartment. As he walked down the path and out into the town, Jack was still thinking about how he could redesign each of the logos.

Just then, a young looking girl was walking by, carrying a lot of heavy looking books. However, neither of them knew what was about to happen!

WOOMF!

The two bumped into each other! “Oh! I am...SO sorry!” Jack panicked as he helped the girl pick up all her books. “That’s okay...” She smiled, “I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before...are you new?”

Jack nervously smiled. “Umm...yes...yes, I am.” He replied. “Well...it’s nice to meet you! I’m Alex, Alex Garcia.” She smiled as she offered her hand for him to shake. Jack felt very nervous but he exhaled calmly and shook off the excess nervousness. “I’m Jack, Jack Jones.” He smiled as they shook hands.

“So Jack, where are you heading?” Alex asked. “Well...I’m just out for a walk cos...well...I just need to clear my head.” Jack replied. “Okay! I might swing by your apartment later, if that’s okay with you...” Alex wondered.

Jack smiled. “Of course! Also, do you by any chance...live here?” He thought. Alex nodded and smiled. “I’ve loved here my whole life!” She added.

After a while, Jack was back to walking. However...what he didn’t know...was that deep in the crevices of his red Converse sneakers...something strange was about to happen...something...he would never forget...

Ooh...do you think he’ll notice?
