Little brother died. Had a few days to digest it. Not an excuse but part explains my infractions of a few days ago and 48 hours silence since.

Dunno if anyone remembers the viral video during COVID when a beefy police sergeant at Flinders Street Station rammed a stoner looking kid into the concrete head first and there was a sickening crack. Sounded like his skull broke, was actually his headphones.

Still, the kid was just asking for directions. Cop too issue. Slammed him into concrete.

That was him.

No, he didn't kill himself. Not quickly at least. Took his time via vodka and self-abuse.

When he was little he loved Star Wars, and Lego and Harry Potter and ANIME I couldn't name. Cheated at GTA Online which I never forgave him for. Met a girlfriend in rehab and they were tight for years until they weren't. Had friends. Loved sci-fi. We played Minecraft together when he was little.

Was never an incel or an arsehole, maybe a little bit of an arsehole. Fifty KGs soaking wet, never violent, or a threat and only a danger to himself.

Died. Suddenly on the weekend. For no reason. Such is life.
