"long day?"
i spun around to see mrs davidson from next door who also seamed to be staring at the orange sky from her balcony.
"Aha, i guess you could say that."
"A wild police chase? A drug smuggle? Do tell me darling."
"Not quite, just a regular robber, no one is sure of his name, only one or two blurry photos have been taken of him."
"-what does he look like?" mrs Davidson questioned, leaning over the balcony as if we were talking about school crushes...
"As far as we know, brown eyes, tall and skinny, brown curly hair...but we can never be too sure."

I tugged on my brown curls. Lights were flashing, music was making the walls shake and alcohol was being spilled everywhere and anywhere. i pushed the girl grinding on me away from me and headed to the door to get fresh air. i pushed my way past the steel door and out of the large warehouse. i sunk to the floor and placed a cigarette between my lips, before lighting it and inhaling deeply. i rested my head against the stone wall, letting a sigh leave my lips, just in time to open my eyes and watch the grey smoke spiral above my head.
My moment of silence was broken by George stumbling through the doors, tripping over his lanky figure and landing in my lap.
"MATTY! I LOVE YOU SO SO SO-" George paused which made me shoot him a questioning glance. George tried to bring himself to sit up-which failed miserably as he threw up on to the concrete floor. "UGH!" whimping in disgust as he dragged his best friend up and towards a taxi rank.

I heaved the balcony door shut and walked towards my bathroom, taking off items of clothing off on the way and dropping them on the floor carelessly. I entered the bathroom and turned the shower on, i stepped inside as soon as i could see the windows and mirrors fogging over...After my shower, i towel dried my long hair and put my pyjamas on. I put my phone on shuffle and listened to the lil peep while i made coffee.
i walked past the kitchen, towards the living room and got settled on the sofa. i grabbed the tv remote and switched the tv on, i started flicking through the channels until i heard laughing and shushing from outside the block apartments. i placed the remote on the sofa and walked over to the balcony; i peered over the thick, metal railing to see to men, one clearly drunk and about 6ft trying to balance himself, jesus christ he's tall i thought to myself, the other man wasn't as tall and he was so pale, his skin almost glowed in the moonlight...
I looked back into my apartment to see the time, 03:23am. My eyes snapped back to the two men as a loud clatter rang in my eyes, i guess the giant did trip in the end, i giggled to myself softly, mainly from my lack of sleep and because the man was clearly struggling with his tall best friend. They made their way into my building. I took this as a sign to switch the tv off and head off to bed.
I tossed and turned, the man with the hair to curly for his head and skin as pale as paper haunting my mind. The same question kept spiralling in my mind, new neighbours?
