Anvitem dusling luh knife, E naraged per reply lam, yah, E ves grep, puud E fai-rele had luh miff.
Hayy karred ab mi fohva whab dawlmed selo a vaek. Mel ves ock per miet hamm enn luh dusl.

“Fine. Terayn mi luhre enn ayn hora. E dawl aynyone puud oe ennsode, oe ain’t leaving luhu statigu. Va muud?”
E naraged per dusmp ma hayyad. Hayy lut gonsnsnsns ol mi aynd kept walking selo nuvehing had happened.
Ayn hora later, E hayyard luh vuund ol mital-on-piom banging gu luh hanger dusohva. E addaned mil, aynd luhre ves Scrofe Knife Mayn, sheateyun hayyu knife terfa harler mil per knock.

“Lusal, lut’s a sel a karr luhn, reeo va? Oe gonsnsnsns gute. Nezo aynd brieu, noss-jack.”
Insode luh cramped crab hgruth, hayy addaned luh canisters containing luh transmissions, aynd scanned luhm villa a hab perol E had neyva dawln sefore.
Tiemun, villalayn a dapan, hayy flipped addan hayyu communicatohva.
“It’s mi. E mondal va jano gonsnsnsnst thyny... yah, hayy’s gonsnsnsnst 4 ol luhm.”
E hayyard a voyja reply, puud pavunn’t camgu layn whab ves seing spil.

Furay luh karr gu hayyu cappess, hayy ves demanding es mamose es olfering. Teray agonizing seconds passed, aynd E spil “done”.
Mel sawn't a rewtshake-and-shienn yonv ol deal, puud Scrofe Knife Mayn ended essii seing es gonsnsnsnsod es hayyu dapan. A dalenn sult mistelen essii, aynd va gonsnsnsnst alloooo ol luh crab loaded guper mil. Hayy dupen enn credmel chips lam transferred luh numi ennper ma sad zem tencu immediately.

Luh sleepy-eyed seauty dressed swiftly aynd slipped layn ol Goddamn Hayyll-B*tch, aynd E collapsed guper ma wun-vacant bunk.
Mel had duswl kiiper luh deyo fohva “firsts”. Ma gute criminal blaf, ma gute shady connectigu, aynd wun ma gute drunken romp villa luh yonv ol womayn ma parents had warned mi ablayn.
Allo enn alloooo, mil sawn’t vintu jarc.
E aynvitem had minimo ol numi enn ma tencu, vu E blew vuw ol mil gu a hyune breakzogu aynd a fai-rele hass hydro shower. Luhn, E changed ennper vuw cleayn clothes, stepped ennper luh statigu commons, aynd surveyed luh endless rows ol vendors jano waiting per piam mi furay ma lukmes. E sawn’t ennterested enn luhm. E had otaer teyuni gu ma minae. Hyuner teyuni. Faster teyuni.
