The three teenagers sat huddled around a campfire in a vacant lot of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. John had smuggled a bottle of vodka from his dad and he, Sally and Ronnie were drinking heartily from it, passing it around and telling stories. They were sixteen years old and it was the weekend, not that it mattered; they lived in a poor neighborhood in Philly’s dilapidated outskirts and weekends weren’t much different from the rest of the week. Each block boasted dozens of leaning houses where gangs organised their drug deals and the homeless squatted. Crime was rife. Rape and murder were routine. But having grown up there, the kids barely noticed the noise. The sirens, broken bottles and gunshots were part of the scenery. And if their parents cared they were out past midnight, they didn’t show it.

Author review: Translation is fine but dealing with the translator is very frustrating, he takes forever to reply to messages. |
