Part I : https://darrionjwrites.com/2019/02/13/rockstars-rent-i/ Do you know who the fuck I am? He side-eyed the trashy, piss-coated alley.

Joshua’s Moon
I approached Joshua with caution. We were in a twenty floor high rise overlooking the FDR Drive. Joshua was having an intense episode and dangerously near an open window. “Where’s Joshua?” I discreetly pulled the syringe from its case. “Can you get Joshua for me?” “He’s resting,” Joshua calmly answered. “Wake him.” Joshua faced me.… — read more
