Occidentalism: Rock Bottom
This is by Rogue Leisure, as these all have been. It has been transcribed by The Immortal Goon. This is the story about watching someone hit rock bottom. It’s not me, at least I don’t think that it’s me, but I don’t know if anybody really knows that they hit the bottom. Does pond scum know it’s pond scum? I…
