The neon buzz from Lou's Tavern spills across the fractured sidewalk where we sit, our shadows long and distorted in the 1999 night. Fresh contusions color our skin, our clothes carrying the metallic scent of blood and triumph. We pass a bottle of beer between us, our eyes bright with reckless adrenaline. My face is a canvas of drained euphoria; he wears a knowing smirk, cigarette smoke twisting from his lips as he accepts the drink, the air dense with our shared, lawless freedom.
