I moved to New York City summer of 2005 and placed myself in the smack center of the borough.
I have walked everywhere in Brooklyn, and not just during broad daylight. I have walked every inch of Prospect Park. I lived nearby. It was a three storey house, all Estonians, and one me. Why me? Why me? I asked the Jewish landlord. Because I like you, he said simply. I found the place on Craig's List.
The national primary ended and the authorities rudely kicked me out a few days before in June 2008.
I did have a gun. A plastic gun I bought at a Walmart in Ohio long before I decided to move to the city. It came with plastic pellets. I liked to do some target practice on the paper target the gun came with. The gun was fake, plastic, orange, but the right weight.

I have been in Little Nepal since. It is on the Brooklyn/Queens border. I used to have my own place. But a drug addict who responded to a Craig's List ad to sublet a room started misbehaving after a few months, and I lost the place. White guy. I simply gave notice to the landlord and left. One day the knives in the kitchen disappeared, and I decided to keep staying would be to push it.
For the past few months I have not even bothered getting my own place. I have been living at other people's places as a paying guest. Two days here, a few weeks there, four months one place, my current place I have been less than a month.
Did I tell you I speak fluent Nepali?
