Just go on, will you?
All the nervous tics, they get to me. Do they get to you?
Do you feel them?

I will keep free your genocide. As long as the condescending

decide. and never look back.

The Odd Pair - Chapter 2

Dear reader, I am sorry to have let you hang out to dry. I have a perfectly good reason. I was hungry, did I mention that? Having identified the three dishes on offer in the in-house canteen i quickly made up my mind to wander off-grid. Yes, I did visit that joint, again. No, I will still not tell you where it’s at. That’s for me to know and you to find out. Only, I hope you don’t. Why? Well, once you find it you will understand. The tricky thing is the making of a decision. Choice is overrated, if you ask me. There is so much tastiness in the world (or in this joint anyway) and so little lunch breaks. So, though I am loath to divulge more, I am inclined to share some of my insights.

The complaints were a river we needed to cross. And cross it we did. With the fruits came a new sensation. We accumulated. First it was small things. a smile here. A new tire there. It was all I could do not to choke. Yes, the days were long, the work heavy. But heavy in an acceptable way, if you know what i mean.

No, I rather not go into that right now.
