  Summary

  "As Josh pounded around the faded red track, he could feel the tears beginning to creep into his eyes—but they were tears of anger and frustration, not of sadness."
  In which Josh feels he has plateaued* at the young age of 16 and frustration at himself ensues

  (*to quote tyler: "you know what word is ugly? bureau. Look at it. Would you just look at it? It's like, settle down, vowels. You too sequoia" I'm sure he'd feel the same about plateaued)
