      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

I’ve been working a job that doesn’t pay me very well for the place I’ve been living in and have had to sell off most of my possessions to get by. Now, I have to live with my dad.
