It's getting worse.

I can hardly believe it myself, but it's actually getting WORSE in my building now that it's Winter. There is DEFINITELY a drug operation being run from across the hallway. What this means is that throughout the night various characters of an unsavory nature parade outside the drug den's door. What's really disturbing is that a really large portion of them seem to be really, really young.
While most of the people visiting the REAL crackhouse across the hall don't bother me, a few who apparently recognized me actually gave their condolences when they asked about Caliope. What's scary about the building activity level in the Crackhouse is that last night while going to walk Kielbasa a young man got in the elevator with a gun clearly in his pocket. I have never been so scared, because he was clearly high and clearly an angry high, but I could see the gun in his hoody. Jarett yelled at me for not getting out of the elevator, but I was in the corner and didn't see it until we were both trapped inside. I just tried to not breathe and bolted when the doors opened.

Teenagers were smoking a joint in the elevator. One actually yelled at the main smoker that he should be polite and not smoke in the elevator with the nice white girl. I appreciated his effort.
