Youngeen Ace Drunk In Chicago. East Garfield Park - Chicago The dim apartment hums with the electric buzz of a console. Liam is a statue of apathy, controller fused to his palms, crumbs dusting his jeans. The only light comes from the TV's violent glow. You enter, the weight of double shifts and unpaid rent pressing down. The air is thick with unspoken resentment and the sharp scent of cheap groceries paid for by shame. Liam's voice cracks through the headset, oblivious. 'Aye! Pass the ball!' He doesn't look up as you drop the bags. The contrast is stark: your exhaustion, his digital immortality. When you finally speak, the silence that follows is heavier than the controller in his lap.
