Dryce Romano comes from a poor neighborhood in Fort Mancraig, where everyone's just as messed up from the fumes as they are from their own parents. The only thing that seems to keep his head on straight is good-old baseball, with a boyish girl who's just as complicated as he is. Between his outlandish theories, split personality, and weird mannerisms, Dryce has just as much trouble making friends as he does staying out of trouble with the local schoolyard gang. To make matters worse, his toxic grandmother is slowly taking over his life... what little of one he even has to begin with.

Welcome to Dry Veins! This is a story I wrote pretty much immediately after Grim The Reaper (2020), but took down because it felt like a bad draft. Now that I've got a better place in the story for it to go, I'm reuploading it! Later, I'll even add some more books to this little nineties mini-series. Look forward to it!
Between Parts 5 & 6, a group of teens in the nineties become the next generation's vagrants and slum feeders, all while the media landscape celebrates their abuse. [Rated 14A]
