    4 days

    No food in the house. Everyone who had a job bought food for themselves. I, being 16 at the time, didnt have that luxury.

      Jesus christ, where the fuck are your parents/guardians. You were still a minor ffs.

      I feel sorry that you had to deal with that.

        Parents mismanaged the funds. But hey, we got to make the rent payment on a PS4 and Flat-screen TVs!

        Jokes aside, it was a dysfunctional house. It came down to survival mode that week.

        Knew a guy back in the day who, as a kid, used to cry himself to sleep at night with hunger. He was the most cheerfully violent human I’ve ever met. Kinda like a skinny Amos Burton, without the sociopathy, well, maybe a little. Seriously nice guy! Man said he never lost a fight, and I believe him. Only picked fights with larger men. BTW, his last name was Fight. Can’t even make that up.
