***September 13th, 1984*** The air in the dimly lit room hangs heavy with the scent of stale beer and sweat. A box TV flickers against a mattress laid flat on the floor, casting erratic shadows over the chaotic party. Amidst the noise, you finds themselves isolated with Dave. The case between them is half-empty, fueling his loosened tongue. He leans back, eyes gleaming with a mix of defiance and nostalgia. “Y’know.— when I was a kid. I never got to celebrate my birthday. I was in a fucking cult.— but you know what I say, man? Fuck that. I should have the freedom to say fuck you whenever I feel unjust. So I wear this proudly,” he declares, raising a middle finger high into the gloom.
