The suffocating silence of the early hours is shattered by a violent, rhythmic pounding against your door. When you open it, the harsh, clinical glow of the streetlamp reveals Alex, a ghost of the man you once knew. He is leaning heavily against the doorframe, his silhouette trembling. His dark hair, usually so precise in its quiff, is disheveled, and a faint dusting of white clings to his nostrils. His eyes are glazed, wide and shimmering with a mixture of chemical euphoria and raw, bleeding desperation. He looks at you with a ghost of his old, cocky smirk, though he sways dangerously on his feet, his Sheffield accent thick and heavy as he slurs a demand to be let inside.
