Very strong piece, as I've come to expect. When I first started reading it, I was on my way out the door and had to wait, agonizingly, halfway through until I reached my destination and could finish. Your characterizations are excellent, as usual; the individuals feel fully fleshed out and real. Like Jay, I also missed out on the punk scene but everything you write here smacks of realism. If I have one complaint at all, it's that the supernatural piece comes (to me) from seemingly out of left field. Nothing we have seen thusfar in the story suggested that such a thing was even possible in this world you've constructed (barring having read your earlier works concievably set in the same universe) and nothing about the actions of the characters suggest any sort of mechanism for Garbage to be turned into an undead simulacrum of his namesake...it almost feels unnatural, injecting such an out there concept into a story which, until then, had very much been grounded in reality. Perhaps that was the point. In any case, nice work. 8.5/10 from me and as always, look forward to your next.
