Lives with Murderers
-/-
Howard lives with murderers. Under the floorboards, Drake taunts and screams at them. Over on the couch, Orc drains another brown glass bottle in silent memoriam for one of the graves in the plaza. Comparatively, selling drugs and booze, including to your best friend, can't be that great a crime.
Howard lives with a saint, too, the one wailing downstairs in alternation with the psycho, but that's not the point. The point is not to be the best and most pure; it's just to get by, day by day, with a little more of your soul intact than the killer in the room beside you.
