aasim yaar,

Whenever I post my comments, the writer invariably responds that they wish I hadn`t...thanks for being a secure, adult writer....

the plot line is absorbing and exotic...I like the bit where the dealer`s race changes...race as a subjective construct...the martial arts movie on the tv is a nice touch....realistic...dont ask me how I know. Narrator`s voice is becoming a bit more self assured..and you never are sure if he`s going to be one of those people who accept the violence of his world...he could go either way, or both ways, and THAT is interesting to me...edgy, ambivalent and realistic.

Looking forward to the next install. Just saw Elvis Costello and The Imposters!

What difference does it make to you, if it makes any difference or not to Haroon Twin ? :-)

It`s got to be made up. No self respecting drug abusers would bother to wake up their dealer.
