DRINKING COMPANION part 1
DRINKING COMPANION I am a 26-year-old guy, I live in Moscow, I work as a lawyer in a private company.

In the courtyard there were some red brick ruins - it was hard to say whether there had been some kind of warehouse before, or a transformer box. These ruins had a bad reputation, often syringes or drugs were found there, there was a case where someone was raped, and once even a corpse was found. The ruins were mainly used as a place to go to the toilet.

I thought maybe the thoughts would go away, and you wouldn’t know the difference anyway. But they didn’t, so here you go. Today will be brief. Maybe. I think.
