    Last month or so, Saturdays have been creepity-quiety around these here terrible streets and awful alleys. Not sure why. I expect that you’re all hungover. Laying somewhere, forehead against cool porcelain, your chin dipping in a congealing pool of your own sick. The crotch of your pants shifting and tenting as the squirrel you’ve trained [...]

    J.C. Hutchins.
    I have full confidence I don’t need to tell you who he is, but in case you don’t know, I already told you way back when.
