23-year-old Daniel Flores was reported dead on the night of August 28. Flores had always been a good boy. He made it his weekly duty to attend church every Sunday, had been known to stay out of trouble and did not easily succumb to peer pressure. On Tuesday, August 28, Flores found himself hanging out with some bad eggs, not his usual crowd. This group rarely attended church, and most graduated from their respective colleges with a C average at best, likely due to drinking alcohol and skipping prayers. As evening rolled by, the group made their way to a bar in downtown Austin, TX, where they were surrounded by poorly raised, pot smoking, alcoholic deadbeats. Flores ordered chicken tenders and Pepsi, as good boys should, while the rest of the group spent their money on the devil’s water. After a couple of drinks, one of the boys pulled from his pockets a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. The box got passed around the bar until it ultimately found its way into Flores’ innocent hands. Being the good, church-going boy he was, Flores immediately declined, and dropped the box with disgust, spilling the remaining cigarettes on the table of the bar. In his attempt to then pick up a chicken tender from his basket, Flores accidentally grabbed a loose cigarette. He mistakenly ate the stick of poison, and, after looking at his basket, recognized that there were still the same number of tenders, but one cigarette was missing from the table. Realizing what he had done, Flores ran out of the bar in search for the nearest church, where he could go to confess his sin. However, in his disoriented state of panic, Flores forgot to look both ways before crossing 6th street and was hit by a white Prius. By the time the first responders had arrived, Daniel Flores was already diagnosed with death by a local bystander, which was confirmed shortly after by an actual doctor.
