Camera Screw/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Things are looking good until you suddenly decide the wall is far more interesting to look at than the crowd of friends armed with baseball bats that your now facially-challenged ex-opponent brought as backup. The wall, being the fascinating bit of scenery it is, manages to hold your attention for quite a while, perhaps due to the calming baseball bat massage being delivered to the back of your head (...) Then some guy shoots you. You try to run to him but think looking the opposite direction might be the best way to approach him.
