It was later that night when I walked into the quiet trailer park. It was cold. The dark sky was clear. I smelled smoke and knew Shawn was around. I sat down on 1 of the 2 front step of his metal trailer. It was uncomfortable, gray cold cement.
I heard footsteps and the smell of smoke neared.
"Oh, hey Morgan," Shawn's voice said from the dark.
I moved over to make room for him on the small step. He sat down, smelling of smoke and cologne.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I like it here."
"Why?"
"Idinno."
"Oh."
"It's not all that comfortable."
"Welcome to my world. You wanna go inside?"
"No. It's so.......um. Still out here."
"Yeah that's why I was out here in the first place."
"Lily comin anytime soon?" I asked, referring to his girlfriend.
Her brother James had broken up with me awhile back.
"Not sure."
"Oh."
"What's wrong?" he asked, after awhile.
He'd gotten to know me over the years, given he was Cory's best friend and knew I never just dropped by.
"Well, Leo overdosed, as you know," I informed him.
"Shit yeah how's he doing?"
"They won't tell us anything."
"Oh."
