Homework
At beginning of 2017, when I living in Oregon and first moved into Zo’s house, I met this guy named Brendan (RIP). Brendan was a very depressed man. He was the US Military during the war in Iraq, Operation Desert Storm, as an Marine. During his time in the military, he told me that his unit was subjected to radiation from being stationed in area where depleted uranium munitions had been used. After the war, he developed serious health issues with his digestion and his skin and also developed a heavy drinking habit. He had moved to South East Asia (thailand/vietnam) and lived a hard fast life for some years. He moved back to the states in around 2011. When I met him in Oregon, he was obviously on some hard times.
Most of the time when I saw Brendan at the house, he was sitting on the couch in his brown pajamas, watching television and drinking white russians. REALLY cheap Vodka + Milk + Kaleua . *For me when I am drunk, the next day I always say that I will never drink again..
What was Zo doing when Brendan got sick ? Zo was sleeping.
