| “ | What's wrong? Feeling your mind start to race? The odds that gun will kill you are one in two now. That probability is pretty high, right? Now you're afraid, wondering what else you can do.

I'm just gonna aim at this asshоlе, pull the trigger a couple of times, and blow his ugly face off." Well, am I wrong? If you want to meet the person you mentioned earlier, the key is in my pocket. You can simply shoot me with that gun and take it. But I'll have you admit one thing. That you're a piece of trash, just like everyone else. A piece of trash who got lucky and made it out of the dumpster. | „ |
