This story starts where most stories end. The protagonist (that would be me) is dead. Abdul shuffled by me. That's one of the upsides if you die in car crash with your best buddies: you're not alone in purgatory. He seemed to avoid looking me in the eyes, and I didn't blame him. After all, I was the drunk guy who drove us into a tree. Maybe things would have turned out differently if he had actually gotten his driving license. Being a good Muslim and all that, he might have embraced his … [Read more...]
