Soul of a Junkie: Hello, John…

Hey, John. How you doin’? You’ve been dead for several years now. I think about you all the time, about everything we talked about. I can’t help but see you lying dead in that bando that you liked to shoot up in, the one across from the park. I don’t know who found you. I first heard about your overdose from your dad on Facebook. I think it was less than six months after you passed that your dad passed away, too. I haven’t written the book yet. For some reason, I published the book on Shaggy first. I guess what we have to say is pretty heavy, and I wanted to give it time. Anyway, you’re on the other side of the grass now, and maybe you have some answers to the questions we both asked. Love you, bro…
