    In high school I had a friend who lived with his Grandma and she was pretty much out of it all the time…

    Every year for Christmas he would put a giant pentagram in Christmas lights on her street facing roof.

    They got letters like this too but she was old and frail and didn’t really give a shit what that kid did as long as he didn’t kill her or burn her house down.

    She would also buy him booze and cigarettes whenever he demanded it at 14ish years old.

        You think that was bleak, eh?

        The friend had a VERY generic name and I have no idea what’s become of him since it’s been 25ish years now since I’ve spoken to him or anyone in his family (or been able to find them even for that matter).

        As far as I know none of our mutual friends have had any contact or more info than that either.

          Oh yeah… also, his dad was a cop while we were in high school in the next town over… And had two other kids that actually lived with him and his wife.

          Friend lived with his Dad’s Mom… The Paternal Grandma.

      Also, we sometimes would have appeared to have been trying to burn her house down

      I’m talking aerosol hair spray and lighters… On carpet and mirrors…

      We were reckless as fuck
