    “Let me share a secret with you." I said, into the dark room. I was in the mood to let it fly.“No one believes your show anymore," I shout-whispered at him, leaning down. "The charming, funny guy who danced on tables at parties in college? It’s over. I hate to break it to you, but everyone knows you're a dick.”I sighed, exhausted. “You’re a dick and I’m an idiot,” I said. At this point, I knew I was only talking to myself.A few minutes before this last hurrah, as I was rehashing our latest go-round, he’d simply looked at me, turned off the lamp next to his bed and climbed under the covers, pul...nZBone door

Look at them, with their tattoos and uncombed hair. They spell trouble.” Charles Gordon, the head laughed and said, “Oh David. I’m sure that it’s not them....nZBone door
