The Meeting Was Getting Out of Hand
a variety of lovely agonies- being the whore
- the man with the severed leg
- an unnatural child born of an unnatural act
- the cacophony of activity
- kill him and eat him
The meeting was getting out of hand. The man with the severed leg stood up and waved the bloody thing over his head, screaming. Clay thought the note-taker was likely to kill him and eat him.
Finally the CEO called for order, which somewhat diminished the cacophony of activity. His thunderous voice carried over the tumult. “This is an unnatural child born of an unnatural act, surely in fact from a variety of lovely agonies. In short, a monster.”
Wild cheers met this proclamation. Being the whore he was, the CEO let it wash over him for a full minute. Finally…
“It is my pleasure to announce your promotion, Clay. Don’t ever change.”
HA! Yes!
Well said!
