Involve Considerable Discomfort

I’m not sure how effective a hunger strike would be

from the back room, where he was quietly snorting

the backpack with its bundles of data and artifacts: the first

noses to migrate to the top of their heads as whales did

tore down the shack with their bare hands, with amazing

magic she’d been waiting for. She placed her hand on her

altar, trying to fix in her mind the true experience of it, the tingling

imperial order. The third universal order was religious: the order

passed a note to the squat greenish skulky guy in charge of

those days could have taken you anywhere, and of course I

sheared through the top with a nasty-looking knife, then the others

passed no fatal hereditary illnesses on to their children. Nevertheless,

she knows it, and now she knows something. I mean really knows.
