Just Like Zoran

"If he doesn't change, he's going to end up just like Zoran," the German complained. It's freezing cold, and I'd been standing outside the bar, nodding and grunting, for three and a half cigarettes. Listening to the waitress air out her boy problems had only seemed like a good idea.

I thought for a second as she continued to ramble. Poor Zoran. He was probably shitfaced in a crummy old apartment, working some tin foil into a shiny new hat as his eyes wandered mechanically over a scratched up blackboard. Meanwhile, her boy Tull was five steps away polishing up his thirteenth pint, swaying, playing with a pocket knife. I walked in and took it away.
