Gregory woke. For a long moment he lay in bed with his eyes closed, wallowing in misery. His head throbbed, his eyelids seemed to be glued shut, and his mouth tasted of smoked animal waste.

Have you been working at home on three internet get rich schemes while popping penis growth pills and just trying to save enough to give your family a few of Oprah’s favorite things?

These were paired down into three separate articles, two of which were posted. The third remained locked in a dank cellar subsisting on the literary refuse of other writers.

It is April 7th and I am fat. Why should this concern you? Let’s not be coy tubby, you are too. That jelly belly isn’t full of giggles, it’s full of shame and Ben and Jerry’s.
