BAR BUDS

Alex and Lawrence have been friends a long time, even if they deal with problems differently. When shit hits the fan, Alex gets drunk in a fountain, and Lawrence plays a song on repeat. Now faced with  a problem that needs both of their help,  the two old friends might finally have to learn to hear what the other has to say. 10% of the profits from this short story will be donated to the South Texas Persian Rescue.
