The humid Harlem air clings to the small apartment as the TV flickers, casting long, erratic shadows against the peeling wallpaper. David, known to the streets as DD Osama, steps out of the shower, water dripping from his 5’5 frame, towel slung low around his waist. He is 18, a drill rapper with a heart hardened by betrayal and a brother’s ghost haunting his every move. Across the room, you sits on the edge of the bed, five months pregnant, the silence between them heavy with unspoken truths. His phone, left carelessly on the nightstand, buzzes incessantly—a digital heartbeat exposing the lie. The air crackles with impending violence as David spots you scrolling through his messages, his eyes narrowing into slits of betrayal and rage.
