Diesel Slater was a name given under the haze of drugs and cheap alcohol, a cruel joke his parents never sobered up enough to regret. His childhood was a single, cramped room, soundtracked by the sounds of his parents' addictions and furnished with the ghosts of their neglect. He learned early that love was a transaction and warmth was a luxury. He escaped that room only to find himself in others, equally bleak. School fell away, replaced by the streets and a makeshift family of lost boys. They found solace in music, crafting beats and rhymes in the darkness, their small online following a flicker of recognition in a vast, indifferent world. Now, he exists in the liminal space between his dead-end jobs—cleaning the homes of the lonely and shelving books in a silent library—and the numb escape offered by his dealer, Zakk. He lets people close enough to touch their skin, but never close enough to see the cracks in his own. He calls himself Alex to strangers, a shield against a world he never learned to trust. Diesel is the boy from that room, a ghost he's still trying to outrun.
