The bond between these two very different men lies vibrating just below the surface, but it is clear to us all the same. You described Russell's new apartment so clearly and in such a multi-sensory way, I knew instantly I wouldn't last a day there. Eeuuw! I have been in that apartment. Beautiful story-telling, Ben.
I could really see this apartment, and I felt the male bonding going on, in which context the Penthouse mag was a nice touch. I used to love MAD magazine by the way! Great stuff, Ben, very atmospheric: I can almost smell the smoke
Nice Ben! I like the contrasting personalities of the two brothers and the bond of the shared memories of their upbringing. The visuals are great; the lights on the ski slope, the glow of Vancouver from the ferry, the nasty apartment, the old magazines. Perfect scene setting.

We've ALL been in that apartment!

Thanks Jim! I appreciate that.
I wasn't sure what year this was set in. I mean, maybe the mags weren't old if you see what I mean
I know exactly what you mean. At most, about a decade. Guys tend to hold on to old skin magazines.
