first homicide of 2019
Luke Kuzmish "you could smell the gunshot" said the witness of the night Nick killed his roommate maybe his friend definitely the guy who sold him meth. the paper reports now they've rounded up the two accused of the crime reported as the first homicide of 2019 (which says something about us as a culture, as a city, as monkeys hungry for more bad news but what that something is, I do not know) that the inhabitants in the little apartment felt something was off axis about these two showing up wearing dirty hoods over their heads Nick's hands deep in his pockets asking about the heater they imagined their dealer was holding yet still didn't call the cops "but obviously it was a drug deal" (his thinking says something about crime, punishment, pride, prejudice, justice, the law) the paper reported these two men robbed eleven other homes that night eleven! I keep thinking about how by some sort of luck I didn't push the offer to help Nick too much and right before he put a gun to his dealer's head he said he didn't need a ride I guess about that Nick wasn't lying |
