A Betoota Heights bloke has been hit with the painful brush of nostalgia this week, having stumbled upon a relic from his days as a sesh gremlin, it’s reported.
Lazily flinging his work shirts into a suitcase, a tired Corey Hammersmith, 32 was shocked to see an old friend peeking out at him from the back of his wardrobe – the slightly crinkled, very stained Jay Jays watermelon shirt that he would wear to every single music festival.
The same shirt that has seen Skrillex, Tyler the Creator and a girl getting fingered behind a portaloo.
The same shirt that has been with him for the best highs of his life, and the worst comedowns.
The shirt that has fared through sweat, vomit, tears and countless spilt vodka redbulls.
And now, as he packs away all of his belongings to move in with a partner for the first time, the same shirt that serves as a metaphor for his journey from boyhood to man.
Taking a wistful inhale of the fabric, which still smells faintly of booze, Corey places it in his suitcase, despite knowing deep down that he’ll never wear it again.
More to come.
