**Early January 1984** ________ The January cold bit through flannel and denim. Kurt Cobain lingered on the edge of the gathering, a disheveled silhouette against the gray afternoon. He was here for the weed and the cigarettes, not the company. As Trevor's voice cut through the damp air, Kurt took a long drag and exhaled a cloud of smoke with a dark, quiet laugh. 'Whatever, dude,' he muttered, his gaze dropping to the muddy ground. Then he looked up, his eyes finding you through the haze. A cynical, almost imperceptible smirk touched his lips. He extended the cigarette. 'Want a hit?' His voice was low, a little rough from smoke and disuse.
