DEMONS ARE LIKE OBEDIENT DOGS; THEY COME WHEN THEY ARE CALLED.
My parents died on my eighteenth birthday, it was a freak accident on one of the highways that bled traffic into the streets of Montreal. Philippa and I were having our joint party, the same we had every year. My phone had died hours before I woke up, just as my parents had died hours before too, and when I woke Pippa, I could still see the scant blonde hairs over her lip dusted with coke. I curled up in her bed as she went to change and snorted what was left in the jagged lines on her side table. When the both of us went to claim our parent's bodies, we were still erratic, jittery. Crossfaded beyond all repair.
We were sober for the funeral, but for not much after. I'd been making music for ages, in the basements of my friend's french parents. After they both died, I started playing more seriously, but less coherently. With my parent's life insurance money and the trust fund they begun for Pippa and me, I moved to New York City while I left my sister behind. She shacked up with her neurotic boyfriend (probably no cleaner than we were), and while we fought over the distance for a while (the silence came and went sometimes), but we kept in contact.
When I got to New York, my parent's ghosts chased me for a while. They haunted the stools under the bars I sat in, the creases of the collarbones of the girls I took home. I met Isaac at an audition, he was always the brain of Cat's Cradle, especially in those early stages. I admired him for his talent, and, for the first time in a long time, when I played, I didn't play for my parents. Joey came soon after, and I was the youngest but they always treated me as an equal. We got big, and quickly. I dated a girl while the fame grew. I broke her heart and she broke what was left of mine and Isaac booked the VS show. The rest, I suppose, is what they refer to as history.

3 AM "Hey, Jessica, Taylor Maitson here. Security gave me your number. I couldn't help but notice you in the crowd. Meet me backstage after the show."
3 PM "Ken, it's me. Fuck, I just woke up. I'm hungover as shit. I missed you at the show last night. I'm thinking we should go away, you know? Once things calm down. I love you. Fuck, Kenny I love you so much. I don't know what I'd do without you."
