Jerry Meets Time Boy
Jerry stepped out of his twenty- story Garden Heights apartment into the thick Atlanta air, his skateboard clacking against the sun- warmed pavement. In the universe of Sidewalk Slam , time isn’t a straight line— it’s a cracked sidewalk, split by choices, echoes, and battles of self. Jerry, a 19- year- old skater, poet, and part- time dreamer, lives in a version of Atlanta where the moment his sneakers hit the concrete, he risks slipping through time. Each slam into the sidewalk sends him hurtling into poetic duels with alternate versions of himself— older, younger, or twisted by what- could- have- beens. The city breathes with rhythm and rhyme, and every street corner might hold a portal, a rival, or a clue to who Jerry is truly becoming.
