    Summary

    Frankie kept telling himself this wasn’t the worst life a person could have.

    It helped if he listed things. He did that a lot, in his head, like he was tuning something. Okay: he wasn’t starving. His stomach grumbled sometimes, sure, but he always found a way to get a bowl of noodles or some other cheap shit from the stand three blocks from the station, or could heat a can in the workshop when the boss had already gone home. He had a stable job, which was way more than some of the guys he saw drifting through the outskirts, hollow-eyed and jittery, looking like they might sell a kidney for a clean glass of water. He had a roof over his head, technically.

    So, you know. Not the worst.

    It just also kind of sucked.

    or a Fun Ghoul origin story.
