[WP] Sitting outside of a cafe, you hear two people arguing about a ring, but it doesn't seem to be a wedding ring... | It started like any other Saturday. I was sitting at my normal table outside of my favorite cafe, The Hole. Weird name, I know. I've learned not to question it. I read the morning newspaper as I waited for my old friend Jenny to bring my usual to the table. She's the one who introduced me to this place.

[WP] As food supplies diminish, the two characters must decide how to proceed. | Abner carefully placed the silver dome onto the plate, he could see himself sweating in the blurred reflection. His partner Giuseppe still carried the scowl he had before.

"So, there's this girl..."
"Hold it! Stop right fucking there, kid! I don't need to hear any more. Let me ask you two questions. Question one: Does she reciprocate your feelings towards her?"
"Well... no. Wait... yes actually! Uhh... maybe... Hopefully..."

[WP] "So there's this girl..." | So there’s this girl. I know it’s not healthy to be caught up in petty emotional problems like love, but forgive me I’m only human. She’s human too, a real pretty one at that. Get this, no older than 30 and a four-star commander of the SkullStompers, Lord Garax’s elite squad. She’s the first female ever allowed in the ... | 1 | 0 | 8 | 31,084 |

[WP] 15 minutes in Hell. | I felt my heart stop. It was a strange feeling, like a massage chair turning off suddenly, but this one has been on since before I was born.
