Yeah, he was rough. Poor kid got hooked on uppers when he was like 14.

It’s almost beyond comprehension. Some kids are forced to become men and burn out before they even hit 18. I will never be able to relate. It just fills me with existential horror to fathom

Some of the older guys there used him as essentially a drug mule for a while. He was under 18 so the idea was if he got caught he wouldn’t do hard time. Got a gun pulled on him once and almost got shot. I felt so bad for the kid and tried to help him as much as I could, but he was just kinda at that point where he was too far gone, and there wasn’t much I could do as a nearly homeless gas station attendant.

I think he’s in his 20s now, haven’t seen him in a while.
