Kankri: We 6egin 9n Christmas Eve with me, Kankri, and my r99mmate, Cr9nus. We live in an industrial l9ft 9n the c9rner 9f 11th street and Avenue 6, the t9p fl99r of what was 9nce a music pu6lishing fact9ry. 9ld r9ck 'n' r9ll p9sters hang 9n the walls. They have Cr9nus' picture advertising gigs at C6G6's and the Pyramid Clu6. We have an illegal w99d 6urning st9ve; its exhaust pipe crawls up t9 a skylight. All 9f 9ur electrical appliances are plugged int9 9ne thick extension c9rd which snakes its way 9ut a wind9w. 9utside, a small tent city has sprung up in the l9t next t9 9ur 6uilding. Inside, we are freezing 6ecause we have n9 heat.
