The writing is entertaining, but the end is a bit melodramatic.

You wouldn’t say that if you’d just spent five hours in the blazing sun picking up the remains of your uncle’s disregard for himself and others like I just did.

I for sure know that house. It sometimes also houses a meth lab. Very evocative and i don’t find it melodramatic because what you feel when you are surrounded by garbage is the full weight of another person’s despair…

well done! I love the cliches and descriptions, they pack a punch! What a desolate space.
