That’s a pop with a loaded rifle stuffed btw the mattress and the headboard who smells like cigarettes coffee and whiskey. He has the most taunt skin over his arm muscles and when you’re too scared to fall asleep - hearing his boots hit the floor in the hallway always makes you feel safe.

WOW! Great message. You’re insanely close … you can add an “always available” toothpick in his ear and a torn-up paisley hanky in his pocket. He used to smoke Kool kings and Lucky Strike non-filters at the same time. Yes, AT THE SAME TIME. He’d take a couple hard pulls off the Lucky for the nicotine and then lean back and drag off the Kool for the menthol. Had a pack rolled under each sleeve. Ironically, the tobacco never took him … dementia did.
