Fresh Pack of Smokes

This night in Oppenheimer Park Dan asked me to shit-kick this chick in the face as she owed money and I said no because I didn t know who she was and I wasn t about to play with fire so he sat on the bench then stood up and did a flying kick twice to her chin and she convulsed and passed out he said he didn t want to spill blood because she had HIV Tales Dissecting herself and the life she once knew living a transient life that included time spent in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside as a bonafide drug addict, Blanchard writes plainly about violence, drug use and sex work in Fresh Pack of Smokes, offering insight into an often overlooked or misunderstood world.
