There was quite a crowd gathered when I reached my apartment building that morning. Lots of cops and Emergency Medical personnel gathered everyone was just standing around. I asked Wild Bill what happened? Not sure, think it came out apartment five. What? A blood-curdling scream, and long wailing, unnatural sounds. Right then I knew it was bad. The apartment was occupied by cutthroat junkies and their infant daughter. Tony “The Hulk” came out first, bloodied, bleary eyed, staring at the ground Rosalie “The Muse” came next, screaming hysterically in Spanglish... muttering broken Catholic novenas last soaked in solemn silence, Inca “The Baby”, covered in a sheet, silent, never to speak again, forgotten.
