Greg's Gift | A Novella | Part 1

Join your bald host Mookie Spitz as he dives into an autobiographical tale of woe and mischief in Chicago during the spring of '97 — a time of espresso, filterless Camels, edgy living, and an unexpected knock at the door. Meet Greg, a sweaty, paranoid neighborhood drug dealer who thrusts a mysterious gym bag into Mookie's hands before vanishing, only to catapult Our Hero into a chaotic, funny, and deeply human spiral through police raids, unrequited romance, and self-discovery. With a cast of eccentric neighbors, high drama, and late-night meth- and ketamine-fueled revelations, this story dances on the edge of nostalgia and disaster. Tune in for part one of four of this novella that blends memoir, pulp, and raw honesty into a wild ride that taught Mookie how to write.
