MALCOM! YOU NEED NEW FRIENDS!
This post is dedicated to Malcom.
Malcom lives in my apartment complex, I think he lives within a door or two of
me.
Malcom has an upset friend, who is angry not just with Malcom, but with their
mutual friend, Adam.
Malcom’s friend decided to turn up and beat on Malcom’s door at maybe around
3am this morning.
Malcom’s friend then went downstairs to the carpark under Malcom’s apartment
(and mine) and proceeded to scream about..
Betrayal
Love
Loyalty
Malcom’s “woman”
His own woman
Adam (whoever that is)
Malcom is a rat
Malcom doesn’t know the meaning of family
Malcom and Adam were no longer his brothers.
I distinctly remember the words “brother” and “bro” being used, along with
fucking bastard, a *unt, a mother fucker, and a few other choice metaphors.
I stood at the window and listened for a few moments, dozing in between
incoherent outraged screams of Malcom’s friend. I decided that the threats of
murder, rape, bashing, and other such lovely ideas weren’t threatening to me.
I sat on the couch and rested my eyelids for a while before deciding that I
didn’t need to hear the same outrage from Malcom’s friend anymore and went to
bed and as I drifted off to sleep again, I could still hear the screaming blue
language billowing from the driveway/carpark below.
