"Great!" she yelled when I reached inside her to the elbow and my hand tried a slow dance with a lung, when her back ripped and sprayed us under the lightning of my belt as she crawled into the quicksand of my bed. when I choked her woozy, raised the toilet lid and punched her face until she saw the necklace I'd given her. 2. You know who you fucked. If she's my wife, so what. Soon you will be me. If it's her, you so screwed. If not, she lies to you, on top of everyone else. I'll tell you this. You're fucking evil, if you did. 3. She's so dead. If I want her ass again, I need to love it. If I don't want it enough to scare myself, then I don't. I broke her jaw. Yeah, I see that. Can't you comprehend? Yeah, I'll think about it. There's a guy who's just shit from his dad when he's expected to fuck what he loves and I'm that shit. BACK
