Thrifthaven's Other Residents
R. Alex Whitlock
I spent a great evening drinking beer and talking to
Stoner and Snowflake. Heard a lot of interesting things about my neighbors:
There's one guy that was almost kicked out because he pushed a kindergartener off his bike and stole it. He was given a second chance.
The guy across the hall has absolutely nothing in his apartment except a bed. The bed has no sheets.
The only thing stopping everyone in the apartment complex from beating up on the guy in the room without the bed is that they are all on probation for past offenses. Except Snowflake.
The guy before the guy who live in my apartment before me was a narc who rented the place looking for drug use. He was discovered and kicked out. This has apparently happened twice.
One guy down the row from me thinks that he is a maintenance man, but he isn't. He's apparently pretty harmless, but I've been told not to let him in my room under any circumstances.
As near as I can tell, I am the only person here that is not getting food stamps.
Stoner's grandfather is an old-time country musician that I've heard of. The only thing I remember hearing about him is that he was a hard core drug addict.
Everyone here is one big happy family. The landlord apparently regularly loans out money to tenants. The managers are letting snowflake use the office computer so that she can learn how to type. Everybody owes everybody else money and no one is worried about it.
Snowflake is the only tenant she is aware of that has actually lasted more than a single six-month lease here. She's moving out in September. Stoner is moving out in August when his lease is up.
I really like my neighbors.
Observations
Wow.
That's... one heck of an apartment complex.
Must be a big change from the treehouse, too.
Yeah, quite a change from the Treehouse. It reminds me a lot more of the Barrios I lived in before that, except that everyone here speaks English and it's a lot more interesting.
