The light has always been dim.
I don't know why that stretch of street is perpetually dark.
I often lean on this side and wonder, won't that just become a crime corner? I don't know. I lift the bottle and take another swig—

I've passed out on the roadside. It's not the first time. I've been there on cold days, I've been there on scorching nights. I haven't been there on affectionate nights.

I was woken up by the morning light that pissed on my face the next day. I frowned, wondering why the sunlight smelled so sickening. I stretched, and my whole body felt as if it had been hit by bullets.
I squinted. The shimmering river water made the sun even more blinding. The wind blew from above, and the liquor bottles clinked together, making a crisp sound. Just like a hallucination.118Please respect copyright.PENANAQeyXQ0isVv
