In one room, a kid sits on his bed listening to Alkaline Trio and Lawrence Arms records, singing choruses and melodies about being drunk, death, and rotting corpses.
On the other side of the wall, a girl is spread out on her bed, talking on the phone and coping with the loss of her ex-boyfriend's mother, and her distant boyfriend who will be going to Iraq.
On the other side of her wall, a slightly overweight guy took some pills and medicine, and passed out extra early in hope to get over nausea, after a day of sitting around watching tv, eating unhealthy, and playing video games.
Under him, a guy and his girlfriend went to bed extra early, spending the night together, sleeping together and keeping each other cramped, too hot from each other's body heat, but in love, of course.
This is in or around midnight. The blunt and honest truth.
I'm back in Greensburg.
