BECOMING A GEORDIE

Day 76

I hate the night.

Eight hours behind. Five thousand miles away. Up at dawn on a Saturday for a club I had no business falling for. A Las Vegas degenerate, becoming a Geordie one week at a time.

Anyone in the wrong shirt comes with ye. Twenty-four Geordie words on the way, one lad from down the road at the gates. Biggest army at full time goes on the table.

I will never be a full Geordie. Nobody from Vegas gets to say that. But every task a Geordie sets me, I do, with a note, a photo, or a video, and I keep count.
