Your kid should bleed to death.
It’s cool.
Someone will scoop the flesh.
They are picked up.
Pieces are placed.
They should split open.
We should see what’s inside.
Everywhere is a spill.
This is slick.
We are obviously perfectly fine.
We will be quiet
in thirty or sixty second intervals.
We’ll talk again.
We’ll blink a few times.
We’ll eat a sandwich.
