Ardi hadn’t slept in three days. Not because of insomnia, but because the noise never stopped. His neighbor, Genti, ran a late-night car workshop out of his garage, and the other neighbor, Lul, sold bootleg phone cases and energy drinks from a card table on the sidewalk. They were friends, then rivals, then something worse: partners in pettiness.
A worn-down neighborhood on the edge of a city that forgot its name. Rusted swings, flickering streetlights, and walls layered with old posters and newer graffiti.
Ardi stared into the small glass. “Tu u qi kurvat me djem,” he whispered. Not at anyone. Just at everything. The phrase hung in the smoky air like a curse and a prayer wrapped together.
