At this point, the only ones who werent fighting were me and the teenage girls, and they were even startin to push eachother a little. i felt like the last kid at the middle school dance, that one song when even your nerdiest friend found somebody to dance with.

maybe i could do it. i mean, justlike punch one person on the sholder. or if it was somebody i knew, maybe even bight em lightly on the cheek.

then i did see someone— johnson. he was stumblin along with three peeple clinging to his back, like a harried kingkong, like godzilla. it kinda reminded me of the way my dad use to playwith me. his face was totally exposed. i could feel my teeth sinkin into his cheek. i could almost taste the facemeat.

i took off my glasses and ran headlong at him, made it, sent me s p r a w l i n g  i hit my mouth on somebodys knee, i tasted sweat and skin then i tasted blood mine or theirs i dont know, i shook it off, but some randoguy r a n d o m g u y r a n d o m g u y r a n d o m g u y r a n d o m g u y r a n d o m g u y came flyin at me [ i think he was thrown, i dont think it was on purpose ] his sholder hit me square on the nose n o s e n o s e my eyes teerd up tho somehow i didnt get a bloody nose which was encouraging, some girl tried to  tackle t a c k l e t a c k l e t a c k l e  me but i slipt s l i p t s l i p t s l i p t out of it, i was slick with sweat, evrybody was [ and the smell, my god ] somebody grabd me from behind, i thought i recognized the monkey arms, my suspicion was confirmd when my mouth was pried open and i tasted, along with my blood, the sweetsick caramel of cuttysark.

well i spat it out.

like a whale spout— cheap  scotch and blood, an efectiv combination, andy let go of me, i elbowd him 1 2 3 o 5 6 h i m e l b o w d h i m e l b o w d h i m elbowd h i m

in the chin without even thinkin about it unless my elbo itself was doin the thinkin, he lurchd back and collided with another guy, i ramd into him, he got samwichdbetweenme and the other guy,we all went down,i saw a flash of pink like when i ran into the tree but this time i didnt fade to black, i opend my eyes and what should i see, mere inches away from my teeth, but andys face—

i bit him.

got a mouthful of hairy sweaty cheek and you  knowhat?

it tasted like chickin.

A n d y A n d y A n d y A n d y A n d y A n d y A n d y A n d y  winced in pain, then laffd, then there was nothin i could do, he
lifted me over his head and started lookin for somewhere to throw me,
and this time it wasnt gona be somewhere soft—

or actialy it was, cause he threw me into  D

she absorbd me, let me plopdown nexto er and rest while she
continued to fling peeple in all directions, at one point she lookt over
at me and said—

if id known this was gona turn into a dance party

i woulda brought my dancin shoes.

somebody tried to pull me back into the melee, but D
sent em sprawling with a jab kick while she simultaneusly clotheslined
a huge dude in a dress.

how are you doin this? i askt

low centera gravity. its my power move.

An d r e w P r a t e r   emerged from the bottom of the pile like the creature from the blacklagoon, armd with a squirt gun which im pretysure had wiskey in it, actialy im realsure cause i got hit with it, tho mostly he was squirtin the teenage girls. they atempted to flee but there was a big ass melee between them and the exit so andrew cornerd them and please do imagine the bigbadwolf but drunk and slitely more evil.

Andrew g a t h e r d u p t h e   g i r l s g a t h e r d u p t h e g i r l s g a t h e r d u p t h e g i r l s g a t h e r d u p t h e g i r l s  like the judge did the kid at the end of

around the ankles, knockd him off balance, almost brought him down, he had to let go of the girls to keep from fallin over, i tried to bite his calf but i missd [ my teeth made a clacking sound ] he  k i c k d k i c k d k i c k d k i c k d k i c k d me in the t h r o a t , t h r o a t , t h r o a t , t h r o a t , t h r o a t , not as hard as he could but definatly hard enuf to put me outa commision.

peeple got outa the way to make room for em. but when A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w

tried to run after em he got swarmd like the red sea.

i lost track of him for a second. then he popd up at the far end of the room, pants down around his ankles with the squirt gun wedged up his ass.

Andrew A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w A n d r e w fought his way thru the crowd. he caught up to the girls
just before they reachd the exit—

then-- out of nowhere comes Johnson J o h n s o n J o h n s o n J o h n s o n .

he didnt try to hit him oranything, he just roard.

RRAAAH!==

which gave the girls some runnin room, and
friends lemme tell you—

they ran.
