2024.05.17 11:47 Own_Mammoth_9445 I feel so exhausted because I want to believe but I’m not ignorant anymore, it feels like I live in two different worlds at the same time

It’s so fucking exhausting. Before I got to be POMO I was one of the most exemplary PMIs.
I would “thrive” while studying the bible, praying to Jehovah and have a deep relationship with him. For me going to the meetings or preaching was one of my favourite things to do.
I would volunteer for everything that meant help the org or others brothers / sisters, to the point the entire congregation absolutely LOVED ME, they would ask why I’m not an elder already and I was cheered by everyone. I had a very strong social life as well with other JWs (we would go to the beach after the meeting or conventions, do picnics, play football, have dinner at others house, seeing movies etc).
But all of that slowly started to change when I started being involved with others peoples personal issues inside the congregation. The JW congregation is full of hypocrisy and fake friendship, to the point I was starting to become mentally tired and exhausted of so many problems I had to deal with, and with my own weakeness I reached a point that I committed serious sins (immorality) and got DFd and never came back.
Now I have a different life, I travel a lot to different countries and have met so many new people and I’m more focused on my career and personal goals. But I miss my life as a JW so much. When I believed in Jehovah and the paradise I had such a mental peace that I can’t have now , despite the fact I have a “good life”. Sometimes I really want to go back.
But when I remember all the homophobia, hypocrisy and fakeness of some JWs, and the issues that I read on this sub daily, I’m like: how can I go back to a shitty organisation like that? I feel like I’m living in two different worlds at the same time. It seems I don’t belong anywhere. I want to return and be a JW again but at the same time I love my actual life and cannot see me back to the old days. It’s so strange.

2024.05.17 05:42 SemiAnonymousGuy It’s actually good for _____’s game that ____ lost. _____ Appreciation post

I just think that had Q played his idol then he would have had the most likely path to victory. With Charlie gone in this scenario I don’t think Maria would survive the following tribal without an idol of her own or winning immunity. From that point Q just has to make the top 3. Despite not being liked by the other players if Q managed to finagle his way into the top 3 with the preposterous confidence he portrayed, despite no one wanting him there for over half of the game, there’s no argument at this point that I can see for any of the other players.
And ultimately I think if he made it past this vote that he would have pulled it off.
I hate to say it but I’m rooting for Ben now, obviously Ben’s not going to win, but I always cheer for the most absurd outcome.
I’m going to miss Q, he was the Jameis Winston of survivor. If you don’t know what I mean by that, Jameis Winston is a professional American Football player who like Q says preposterous things, has outrageous confidence, is from the American south, and just comes off like a complete goober despite having incredible athletic ability.
If you want proof of this look up the interview where Jamies talks about what his trainer taught him about the importance of being prepared - and tell me that that’s not the same energy you get from Q.

  3. You are right. Neither of us want Arcasian greed to spread across Merkorpa.
  4. The violence you mention is the responsibility of a select few individuals. They are being dealt with.
  5. Wehlen is our direct neighbor and our historical ally. We will always prioritize relations with your country over Rumburg.
  6. I agree that closer cultural and economic ties could benefit both nations.
First term to trade deal: Tell me about trade deal, Mr. President

  3. Yes, their religious fanaticism makes them even more dangerous.
  4. That's it?
  5. Or what?
  6. I am all for proactivity. If we don't nip terrorism in the bud now, we will pay a steep price later.
  7. I see. A small contribution towards the greater fight against terrorism. (only appears if you have enough ships)
  8. Not everything, what’s this about a three-year timeline?
  9. Do not doubt my kingdom's ability to deliver on its promises.
Enact these trade agreements:
  • Imports: Oil (any more lowers negotiating power)
  • Exports: Wine and Small arms
  • Promise aid against BFF
  • Do not ban Bluds and Deridans
  • Full rights to Wehzeks

Pay for reparations for the Arufelde River (cheaper because of donation made in Turn 2). Build pipeline through Morella. Last, hold talks with Derdia over border disputes. At the end, offer to split MITZ 50-50 for agreeing to all these conditions. Again. Do not take the Biscuits.

2024.05.16 23:51 Nomaddo write about the dow jones industrial average hitting 40k in warhammer 40k style

In the grim darkness of the stock market, there is only profit. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, that venerable index of capitalist endeavors, has achieved a momentous milestone: 40,000 points! As the bell tolled on the trading floor, traders and investors alike raised their goblets of recaf in celebration. The Emperor’s blessing was upon them, for the numbers climbed ever higher, like a Space Marine scaling the walls of a hive city.

Commissar Yellen, the High Lord of the Federal Reserve, stood resolute. Her vox-caster crackled with determination as she addressed the masses: “Fear not, citizens of Terra! The economy remains stable, and interest rates shall be cut forthwith!” The crowd erupted in cheers, their fervor rivaling that of an Ork Waaagh! charging into battle.

But amidst the jubilation, whispers spread like the tendrils of a Genestealer Cult. Was this truly a golden age, or merely a mirage conjured by the Dark Mechanicus? Some pointed to the Walmart Crusade, where the retail giant surged 6% after delivering robust first-quarter results. Others cited the Tech-Priests of Silicon Valley, whose S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite soared to record heights, like Titans striding across the battlefield.

Yet, lurking in the shadows, the Chaos Bears plotted their heretical schemes. They whispered of inflation, of warp storms brewing on the horizon. Would the Emperor’s interest rate cuts be enough to stave off the daemonic forces of stagflation? Only time would tell.

And so, the Dow Jones marched onward, its ticker tape scrolling like ancient runes etched into a power sword. The Adeptus Bullus chanted their mantras: “Buy low, sell high! Diversify your portfolio! May the Omnissiah guide your investments!” Meanwhile, the Short-Sellers of Nurgle gnashed their teeth, their plague-ridden spreadsheets predicting doom and gloom.

In the hallowed halls of the Imperial Exchange, traders donned their ceramite suits and wielded data-slates like bolt pistols. They shouted orders across the abyss, their voices echoing like battle cries on the battlefield of numbers. “Long on promethium futures!” cried one. “Short the squig-meat index!” bellowed another.

And so it was written in the Book of Ticker Symbols: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, like a mighty Leviathan Dreadnought, breached the 40,000-point threshold. The Emperor’s tithe had been paid, and the markets rejoiced. But remember, dear investors, as you navigate this perilous galaxy of finance: In the grim darkness of the stock market, there are no refunds.

May your portfolios be blessed by the God-Emperor, and may your stop-loss orders hold firm against the tides of chaos. For in this eternal war of bulls and bears, only the boldest shall prevail. 🚀🌟

Miami beat writers are some of the saltiest around 😂
“But while the prematch talk and stadium hijinks was designed to set a mood, the Orlando fans didn't bring the intensity that a proper derby game contains. They tried to boo the Miami players as they made their way onto the pitch but their efforts were quickly drowned out by cheers and there was no tifo, no chants, or any attempt at an organized effort to make the Herons feel the pressure of being at an away game.”
Real, I didn’t go to the game but wrote an article anyway vibes.

Premier League 2024: Man City Vs tottenham Hotspur; Haland steals it yet again for Man City to seal victory….
https://preview.redd.it/j3ozu7rqcu0d1.png?width=718&format=png&auto=webp&s=28c06ebfe5c0109f01ddaf6784cf9dd641f4fad8
Premier league charts are staying volatile and the reason behind that is the craziness with which football is being played in the field. The 90 plus added extra time that fans come in to watch are full of uncertainties and excitement. This was the same energy during today’s match that took place in London between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. Press Conference before matchBefore the match, Man City coach Pep Guardiola said “history is in front of us”, as he prepared his team for a blinder of a match. Tottenham is one of the most difficult teams to beat seeing Son’s performances with the ball. The South Korean football star is brilliant in the runups he takes to lead his team and often scores when his right foot comes to play. Match TimelineBut today his magic spell failed in front of Walker and his men although he tried his level best in order to take it away from City. The match started with Hotspur kicking the ball off while city fans cheered for the away side as this was a must win to keep their chances alive to defend the title. In the 3rd minute the eventual showstopper of the match, Erling Haland fouls Hotspur’s Romero. Double the minutes and in comes an almost goal by Bentancur for the home side only to be saved by Ederson by his prime reflexes. 2 minutes after that, De Bruyne tries shooting it into the net after getting the ball from Walker but misses it by miles and is eventually given offside by the linesman. In the 14th minute, Foden again passes the ball to Walker, who sprints like a cheetah to make a long pass from the right flank to the former but he misses it and comes in a corner after Spurs clears it. 2 minutes after that, the spectators saw a brilliant save by Vicario as Spurs’ Calvert Lewin could only watch the ball coming in from Foden on target. After this the game proceeds as the teams b battle it out in the field. Things get exciting when Bentancur fouls Foden in a desperate attempt to counter attack in the 36th minute and receives a Yellow card for it. In the next two minutes Walker again tries to set it up for City by giving a long pass from the flank only to see Gvardiol’s volley fly off the post.A similar chance came just before Half time was signalled to the teams when Haaland was set up by the magician Foden only to see the shot being blocked by Van de Wen, the deflection sees another shot at the goal but is stopped by Dragusin who finds it later that its offside.After 4 minutes past Half time, the field saw action as Son was set up by Sarr and Johnson in the flanks to lead Hotspur in the scoreline but was stopped by the reflexes of Ederson at the Goalpost yet again. 2 minutes after that, Erling Haaland scored it for City in the 51st minute with an assist given by De Bruyne. Seeing this goal, Sarr fouls De Bruyne very offensively who goes down crying in pain. The referee booked Sarr immediately for the foul and gave him a yellow card.Romero again gets a Yellow in the 62nd minute, a third for Spurs after Kulusevski gets kicked down the ankle. The 69th minute saw a double change for City and Tottenham did it in the 86th minute after City goalkeeper Ortega made a match winning save. The match extends to extra time and in comes Haaland with his second in the 91st minute. He is substituted after 4 minutes he scores his double and the match eventually ends. City beats Tottenham to topple Arsenal in the charts and now leads the points table.

2024.05.16 20:02 broadwaybulldog Why don't more people care that Harrison Butker was anti-Semitic in his speech?

Harrison Butker, a football player, is recently receiving (well deserved) criticism for a speech he gave a small Catholic college. In it he complained about society, hitting on a bunch of the usual right wing points (abortion, trans people, COVID vaccines etc), along with some things that Republicans frequently try to pretend they have no problem with (cisgender gay people, women working, IVF, and more).
However, the topic at hand is that he also criticized Congress for passing laws that combats anti-Semitism, lamenting that people may not be able to drum up hatred for Jews with Jewish deicide accusations. Here is the section in question:
We fear speaking truth because now unfortunately truth is in the minority. Congress just passed a bill where stating something as basic as the Biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail.
The Catholic Church itself has denied Jewish deicide, but that's neither here nor there.
The real question I have is: why don't more people care? None of the articles I read on places like CNN or Huffington Post make any reference to the part related to Jewish deicide (some sources, like Rolling Stone, do make mention of it). On the right, people that are giving full throated support to him, like Fox News, also ignore the part about Jewish deicide. If there has been a reaction to this among Jewish people, I haven't seen it (but I also don't see the whole internet).
Anyway, did people just not notice? Do they not care because it's about Jews? The right LOVES to celebrate anti-Semites provided they also hate "proper" targets like LGBT people (Trump said that the people chanting "The Jews will not replace us" at Charlottesville were fabulous). And, as for more left wing sources, maybe they didn't want to mention it because they were worried people would agree with him on that part?
My only guess--which is depressing to consider, but probable--is that nobody cares about people being anti-Semitic, whether it's pro or anti.
Before people come in with "both sides," while mention of the anti-Semitism is shockingly rare, the only outlets I've seen criticizing Butker for being anti-Semitic are sources that are considered to be mainstream media or left leaning. And, as for the other left leaning sources, they are at least criticizing him, whereas right leaning ones are lionizing him.
For the curious, here is his entire speech: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2024/05/15/heres-harrison-butkers-controversial-commencement-speech-in-full/?sh=34b2d12f7937

2024.05.16 17:54 BiggieBiggieBiggieee Rocketship Poem - 1 Like = $10 buy

Beneath the glow of market screens, where ticker tape does fly,
A tale unfolds of tendies gold, and stocks that reach the sky.
Roaring Kitty, with a wink, his memes are but a boon,
He whispers low, "Hold dear, hold tight, we're sending FFIE to the moon."
In chats aglow with diamond hands, where Wall Street Bets convene,
They rally cries of 'to the stars!', their spirits fierce and keen.
With tendies in their hopeful grasp, they sing a raucous tune,
"Buy the dip, and let it rip, we'll see the moon by noon!"
The rocket’s set on virtual pads, with traders strapped aboard,
Roaring Kitty leads the charge, the chairman they adored.
With dreams of wealth and freedom's ring, beneath the crescent moon,
They chant and cheer, "The moon is near, FFIE will soar soon!"
So hold your shares, don't let them go, believe in Roaring's call,
For memes can stir a market’s heart, and rise above it all.
With tendies crisp and spirits high, under a watchful moon,
They ride the charts, these brave young hearts, to fortunes they'll attune.

2024.05.16 13:05 zmmiz A Rant with a Wholesome Ending

This is a WALL of text. Read it or ignore it if you'd like to. I like putting opinions out there, and listening to what others have to say.
“Arsenal watching city going 1 up after hate watching”
I feel like I've never seen more fans hate watching while 0 Arsenal supporters do so.Spurs fans consistently hate watching when we got into the champions league.
Arsenal, when they were down to Luton, had so many hate-watchers. So many shitty fans calling us hate watchers, then watching every single city and arsenal game to try and clown us.
But I’ve never really seen Arsenal fans as hate watchers… There may be a couple of examples I haven’t seen, but from what I've seen our “Hate watching” has come down to seeing how interesting games can be. When City goes up 1, I try to keep watching (from NZ, so time zones are a bitch) because I like football and I’m interested. I got to 3-0 city vs Fulham before I fell asleep.
Just funny going onto twitter and reading chelsea fans saying ”CITTTEHHHHHH” n such. A bit of a guilty pleasure is reading idiotic posts on twitter.
The Social Media Fans
Social media fans are rampant and are now seen as “The fans of the club” which is insane, because 90% of them have never been to England, let alone a game. And will look at a scoreline/highlights to determine what they think, And look at a team’s name to determine what the result should be.
Trust, I’ve watched full games back from time to time, and goddamn the picture is soooooooo different, from watching highlights, or reading a timeline.
Not sure about certain supporters who live within England, and It may be “banter” but it gets tiring hearing “We all hate Arsenal fans” when you actively have so many more Chelsea, and United fans screaming in your ears about every little thing, while supporting their rivals…
I hate the “pray for (insert team)” but the more of a meme it becomes the better, it’s just sad that they come with some of the most delusional takes ever, from people who don’t pay attention to how other teams are performing. And that they’re not just “food” for us to eat, it’s a competitive league for a reason.
Supporting the Dominant Team
I also find it insane that such a large group of people would rather see a team, with 115+ charges (who have been constantly avoiding them), while also spending billions to win the league for the 6th time in 7 years, over a team which is having a rise to glory. Just because “It’s arsenal”. While if you look back a couple months, everyone is complaining about city.
Also when did the fact where everyone hates the dominant team, and wants to see others rising not become a thing? F1 had it with Hamilton, now verstappen. NZ rugby has it with the crusaders (absolute cunts btw), and it happened with Golden State in the NBA, and now the nuggets.
Clubs who talk about history to prove they’re better now
It’s so common I see fans talk about trophies as if they mean “We’re the best team in the world”, Chelsea fans are great at this, bringing back a champions league where they only have 3 of those players, and a completely different management and ownership.
I just hope that this is banter, and not actual delulu. Hard for me to tell, or even certain teams talking about european trophies (cough cough west ham *cough cough*), where it is amazing they got it, but bring a top 4 / 5 team, who wants to win that competition, and they’ll win it almost every time.
What defines big clubs to me is, how good is your club now, and how many fans around the world do you have. Man United has the fans, but the team quality due to injuries wouldn’t help them to be the “biggest club”. The reason Barcelona vs Real was so big was because they were the best in the world, with the best players, and the most fans. Barcelona are a smaller club now (still huge), because the names aren’t as big, and they aren’t as competitive as they used to be. But still will have a ton of fans.
Teams Succeeding???
For me, I don’t like spurs, the mentality, the supporters, the scummy tactics. But I do want to see the team succeed in the competition (I Also like Ange and his story). I’m happy Aston Villa is doing well, I’m happy Liverpool had a bounce back season, and I'm happy Newcastle have started to find their footing.
And this is because you want a competitive league. We DON’T want a Bayern situation. Everyone always wanted Dortmund to win it, or at least another team, and look at the celebrations now that Leverkusen has done it. Bundesliga got 5 champions league spots, not only because of what happened in the Champion league, but you have Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, RB Leipzig all becoming more and more competitive. (Even though the disparity between 1-8 and 9-18 is big) it’s a step in a good direction.
Winning the League?
I’ve supported Arsenal since I was 7, because playing Fifa 12 with my older brothers, I thought the cannon was cool. I’ve been on and off for a while, but Arteta brought me back (And my degen phase of 4 hours of sleep has kicked in)
These years have taught me to never expect our team to win anything, till the final whistle of the final game. Very fucking sad, but it’s true. I will celebrate every win, Look back at every loss, watch every minute I can despite being sleep deprived, and love every moment, because I fucking love this club. I don’t care if we win the Premier league this season or not, I have no hope, but that could be my bleak outlook. But it was the same last season. I wait for the final whistle of the final game, then having the trophy or not, might give me a little more happiness.
But by far the most important thing for a depressed, mentally ill, sleep deprived, University student. Is when I see posts about the players, the club, the staff and the fans. And it makes me smile. As simple as seeing Gabriel and Saliba partnership being praised and them being “future” of Arsenal, makes me smile now, and gives me the moments of happiness which sadly, fade quickly. But they’re there.
Lastly PLEASE for the love of this club, never stop talking about the small cute things our players do, the celebrities involved, the nicknames we give our players, the new chants created. That character is what makes this club fucking beautiful.

ROH/WOH REVOLUTION PPV
Tony Schiavone and Ian Riccaboni welcome us to tonight's Revolution PPV and send us right to the opening match!!
…..
ROH Tag Titles Champs: Breakker and Alexander w/ Robert Stone vs New Catch Republic
NCR look to reclaim their titles from Robert Stone clients Josh Alexander and Bron Breakker. Alexander's ability to withstand punishment and Breakker's raw make that a tough ask.
NCR has deep technical ability and experience teaming together, while the new Champs are still learning their Rhythm. Everytime it looks too close, Stone can be seen distracting the referee or pulling someone out of the ring.
Late in the match, the referee tosses Mr Stone for excessive interference!! Unfortunately, Tyler Bate turns into a Breakker spear that nearly cuts him in half and the champs retain!!
Winners: Bron Breakker and Josh Alexander
…..
Austin Theory vs Jimmy Uso
From the opening bell, both competitors demonstrated their exceptional skills and determination, trading high-impact moves and near falls. Theory, known for his technical prowess and agility, seemed to have the upper hand at several points during the match, showcasing his ability to outmaneuver Jimmy with precision strikes and calculated offense. Jimmy never backed down as he is used to high-pressure situations.
Despite the relentless assault from Theory, it was the unwavering support of the crowd that proved to be the deciding factor for Jimmy Uso. The fans in attendance were firmly behind him, their cheers and chants creating an electric atmosphere that reverberated throughout the arena. Every time Jimmy looked to be on the verge of defeat, the deafening roar of the audience seemed to reignite his fighting spirit. Theory was able to land Ataxia, but Jimmy kicked out a split-second before the 3 count.
In the final moments, the crowd's energy reached a fever pitch, fueling Jimmy’s final surge of offense. A completely unexpected Full Nelson Bomb caught Theory off guard and Uso scored the 3!!
Winner: Jimmy Uso
…..
WOH International Title Sol Ruca vs Tegan Nox
Salina de la Renta joins Commentary for this one. She proudly points out the talent of the two competitors looking for their first title in WOH. Sol is somewhat hesitant in the early going, as she saw what Tegan Nox did to her last opponent.
Tegan takes full advantage of this, and starts laying in some heavy blows.. every cry of pain from Sol seems to derive a cry of joy from Tegan!!
Salina de la Renta is a little unsure of Tegan’s new attitude, but complements her on finding a way to push herself up the ladder in WOH.
Moments later a wicked looking Shiniest Wizard lands and Tegan Nox is the winner.
Winner and New WOH International Champion: Tegan Nox
…..
Renée Paquette approaches, to get a word with the new Champion, but Tegan brushes her off and stalks up the rampway with her title .
……
ROH International Title Damian Priest vs Marcel Barthel
In a match for the newly unified International Championship, Damian Priest faces Marcel Barthel. Priest is known for his imposing size and strength, giving him a significant power advantage. Barthel is a master technician, excelling in grappling and submission holds.
And that is what plays out. Barthel doing his best to outwrestle Damian, and his opponent using his power and agility to stay out of his grasp. Barthel does manage a couple of Near-falls but the match is definitely Priest's when he wants to end it.
A big boot staggers Barthel and a huge South of Heaven chokeslam wins the match.
Winner and New International Champion: Damian Priest
……
A strange music erupts that commentary is able to identify as a hybrid of Imperium and Ringkampf’s themes mixed together.. A spotlight shines on the entrance ramp. The crowd grows silent. Damian Priest looks up angrily as his celebration is cut short.
Damian is shocked as none other than GUNTHER himself steps through the curtain. The crowd doesn't know how to react. He smiles darkly and points at Damian, then steps back through the curtain. Priest rolls out of the ring and races after him with a look of pure rage on his face!
…..
Pentagon Jr vs Nic Nemeth w/ Robert Stone
The third match in this recent series of matches starts like the others have.. Penta taking to the Sky, showcasing his Lucha skills and Nemeth using a ground based offense. As we have seen, these 2 talented veterans are very evenly matched.
The referee is watching Robert Stone like a hawk after the opening match shenanigans. Stone raises his hands and says he's just there to advise his client. What he misses is Nic punting Penta low and hitting a Danger Zone for the tainted victory.
Winner: Nic Nemeth
…..
WOH Tag Titles Open Challenge Champs: Sky Pirates vs ????
The Sky Pirates, the WOH Tag Team Champions, come out to the roar of the crowd!! They raise their titles in the air and bask in the love of the crowd.
We all await their opponents. First through the curtain is a woman wearing a demon mask! The bigger shock is her partner, a larger woman dressed in black and wearing a dragon mask!!
Io and Kairi have no Idea who the masked women are, but they start the match Kairi vs the Demon mask. Cat and mouse seems to be the idea here, as Kairi plays hit and run with the much stronger Demon. A tag to Io keeps things moving at a fast pace.
The Demon woman does manage to knock down Io and makes a tag to her masked partner. Things slow down as the dragon masked one grabs Io in a bear hug and starts to squeeze. A belly to belly suplex from the bear hug stuns Io. A Powerbomb crumples up Io and suddenly we have New WOH Tag Team Champions!!
Winners and New WOH Tag Team Champions: The Masked Women
…..
WOH World Title Champ: Jamie Hayter vs Asuka
As everyone tries to figure out who the new Women's Tag Team Champions are, the introductions for the WOH World Title Match begin. The challenger, Asuka, comes out first.
The leader of the Queens of Violence and our WOH World Champion - Jamie Hayter is out next . Both combatants are a touch slow after what they witnessed in the last match. But within minutes, the match is going in earnest.
Asuka makes the first move, catching the champ in an octopus stretch!! Hayter gets to the ropes after several minutes of pain. Asuka doesn't want to release the hold, but eventually does. A pair of clotheslines take Asuka down, and the champ starts raining down the fists.
Just as it seems like the champion is going to kick it into a higher gear, the arena goes black. When the lights come back up, four masked women stands over a downed Asuka and Jamie Hayter!!
The new Tag Champs are now joined by a fox mask and a black masked woman wearing a crown. They start to remove their masks.
The Fox mask is new International Champion Tegan Nox !!
The Demon is Zoey Stark!! The Dragon is none other than Salina de la Renta's enforcer Kris Statlander!!
The Crown now produces a microphone and speaks..
“Do you see how easy this was? Tegan is the International Champion. Zoey and Statlander are the Tag Team Champions, and soon - I will be the Women's Champion!!” She drops her mask to reveal, in the biggest shock of the night - Charlotte Flair!!!
“We are The Standard And You Don't Measure Up!!”
……
As The Standard leaves the ring, we head to a brief PPV commercial break - hyping up Anarchy in ROH, next month's PPV. Commentary let's us know that both Jamie Hayter and Asuka have been taken to a local medical facility for observation.
We also hear from GM Nigel McGuiness. He let's us know that Anyone who interferes in the Main Event will be automatically FIRED !!!
…..
MAIN EVENT
ROH World Title Champ: Jay White vs Malakai Black
In the highly anticipated Main Event clash of Superstars, Malakai Black faced off against Jay White. Both competitors brought their unique styles to the ring, with Black's striking martial arts contrasting sharply with White's cunning and technical prowess. The match began with a series of rapid exchanges, showcasing the agility and precision of both men. Black's swift kicks and devastating strikes kept White at bay, but "Switchblade" countered with his own brand of methodical offense, targeting Black's limbs to slow his momentum.
As the match progressed, the intensity only escalated. White, known for his cerebral approach, tried to wear down Black with a series of submissions and suplexes, aiming to weaken his opponent. However, Black's unyielding spirit shone through. He absorbed the punishment and retaliated with vicious knees and kicks that echoed throughout the arena. The turning point came when White attempted his signature Blade Runner, only for Black to counter mid-move, stunning the crowd. With an almost supernatural agility, Black slipped out and delivered a lightning-quick Black Mass that left White reeling.
The climax of the bout saw both men exhausted, each digging deep into their reserves. White, in a last-ditch effort, went for another Blade Runner, but Black evaded it with one fluid motion.
In a moment of sheer brilliance, Malakai Black delivered a second Black Mass, catching Jay White flush on the jaw. The impact was definitive, and White crumpled to the mat. Black covered for the pin. The referee's hand hit the mat for the third time, and the arena erupted in applause, as they realized they have a New ROH World Champion in Malakai Black!
Winner And New ROH World Champion: Malakai Black

DC Next presents:

I AM BATMAN

In True Crime
Issue Sixteen: Dark Hair And Face Paint
Written by ClaraEclair
Edited by PredaPlant & DeadIslandMan1
 
<< < Previous Issue Next Issue > Coming Next Month
 
 
Gotham University’s winter term was coming to an end, and that meant the resident varsity football team was finishing out their season — on home turf, no less. The Nighthawks were on a winning streak and were looking to finish off the season with a championship. The entire team felt the energy coursing through them as the stadium filled and crowd chants grew.
There were always major league scouts within the crowds at these types of games, especially for teams as impressive as the Nighthawks had been. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that some of the players on the varsity team would be making it to the national league. The coach, as hard as he could be on his team, felt nothing but warm pride in his heart and mind.
Zack Howard, the captain of the Nighthawks, looked over the 120 yard field from the player entrance, listening to the roaring crowd chanting for the Nighthawks — even fans of the Princeton Tigers felt the pull toward cheering on the Gotham University team. Just as much as his coach, he felt pride in being able to carry his team this far. He hoped to give the best game he’d ever played, to be noticed by big league coaches and scouts.
“Zack!” He heard his coach shout from behind him, no doubt trying to shift his attention back to the locker room and preparations for the game ahead. Zack exhaled deeply and turned around to see Coach Fremlin approaching with a light jog, holding something in his hand. “Delivery for ya,” he said, handing the envelope to the captain. “Some girl said to give it to you, said there’s somethin’ special inside.” With a smirk, Fremlin clapped Zack’s shoulder before turning back toward the locker room.
Zack’s mind flooded with possibilities and fantasies about what could’ve been in the envelope. Something special could have been anything, and it excited him as he ripped it open. His expression quickly shifted, however, as he pulled a handwritten note out of the envelope, scribbled in nearly illegible handwriting.
”Zack Howard,” it read. He opened it, his brow furrowed, and watched as an instant print photograph fell out of the fold and onto the ground. One piece of clear tape had been shoddily applied to the corner and had clearly lost its adhesion. Leaning down, Zack picked up the photo and squinted, trying to make out the subject.
It took a few moments, but the longer he stared at the photo, the more it dawned on him what was depicted in it. Instantly, upon realising what he saw, he rushed back to the locker room and forced himself through his teammates to Coach Fremlin, who was dragging out his playbook. He grabbed the coach by the shoulder, twisted him around to face him directly, and planted the photo firmly on his chest.
“What the fuck is this?” he demanded. Confused, Fremlin chuckled nervously as he tried to grasp the small photo on his chest, not able to see the subject but only the fury in Zack’s face. The room fell totally silent as the entire team watched the coach and their captain with bated breaths.
“What do you mean?” asked Fremlin, turning the image over and squinting at it, trying to make out the details. Just as fast as Zack had initially made out the details, Fremlin’s face dropped at the realisation. “Holy God, Zack, I–”
“What the hell is this?!” Zack demanded once more, resisting the urge to grab his coach by the collar and push him against the wall. “Who gave this to you?”
“I– I don’t know, it was some girl,” Fremlin stuttered, fumbling over himself. “She was short, had black hair, face paint…”
“What’s it say on the back?” asked Tim Teslow, the team’s best running back, pointing toward the image and the messy scrawls on the back of it. Zack snapped it back out of Fremlin’s hands as the coach sat down, head in his hands.
“Section 204, Row 8, seat 9,” Zack read the note aloud. “I’m going to go see what this is,” he said through clenched teeth.
“Dude, that’s across the stadium,” said Cutter Karznowski, the wide receiver that had only joined at the start of the season. “The game’s starting in a few minutes.”
“I don’t care,” Zack snapped back. “I’m going.”
 
 
Good evening, Gothamites, I hope you enjoyed that last one — Barcode by Self-Sacrificial. It’s always been a personal favourite of mine, straight to the point with the best beats and deepest riffs.
In the same spirit, I’ll get straight to the point of why today’s a big day for me — you’ve all known this was coming but I never quite said what it was. When I started this show a little over a year ago, I wanted to look at the dirt of the world. I wanted to bring you my favourite music while trying to figure out my favourite events in this city.
I’ve talked about all the legends, I’ve talked about Joker, Mister Freeze, and so many others. I’ve talked about new shooters like Man-Bat and Professor Pyg. I’ve even, unfortunately, shed some light on the unoriginal copycat hacks that have started popping up in recent years. It’s all been out of love, though. Love for the mind of those who would commit these atrocities, appreciation for what they are and what they represent.
There’s a reason why they are what they are, and it’s always been a goal of mine to love and appreciate what they put into the world. It’s all about the chaos.
But, today, I won’t be talking about that. Today, I’ll be talking about football. Before you all start booing me, it’s my special day and it’s my show, so I get final say. Specifically, it’s the big championship game for the Gotham University Nighthawks. I went to school with these guys, I feel… an obligation.
I’m excited to see how the game will turn out. I get the nagging feeling that their winning streak might come to an end.
 
 
Section 204 in the Gotham Knights stadium, on the north side of Tricorner Island, the southernmost landmass of Gotham, was filled to the brim with spectators and fans. All were cheering as they waited and watched the Gotham University Nighthawks enter the field below, while Zack spent his time searching the section for a small woman with black hair and face paint.
Despite the difficulty of sifting through the crowded seats, he couldn’t find a woman matching that description. He looked back down at the photograph’s note and read it again, making sure he was in the right spot. The location remained the same: Section 204, row 8, seat 9.
People called out his name, but he was quick to shrug them off. He was too focused on finding the woman who’d sent him the photograph. Even asking those who’d been sitting within section 204 had proved fruitless, with no one being able to say anything about the described woman.
Angry and dejected, Zack turned back toward the steps between sections to head back down to the field when something caught his eye as he moved.
“Sir!” He called out, angling his head toward a man two rows above him, pointing beneath his seat. “Sir, what’s that under your seat?” There was some sort of flashing light taped to the bottom of the seat, slowly pulsing between purple and green.
The man looked confused, leaning forward to take a look at what Zack had pointed at, eyes widening the moment he saw the wiring that he sat atop. A complex series of wires and lights traced their way around each seat in the section, though neither he nor Zack could see what, exactly, the wires were attached to.
“I don’t–”
The man could only shout out those few words before a loud explosion rocked the stadium, blasts running down the portion of the stadium from rows 12 to 4. Dozens of seats were annihilated as smoke, fire, and green gas erupted. Cries of pain and fear replaced the cheers of the spectators.
Blood tainted the intact seats while the smoke rose into the air, infiltrating the sky of southern Gotham, visible from all along the city’s coast. What fell across the stadium, permeating nearly every seat on the west side of the stadium, making its way into the halls that traced the inner workings of the building, was a thick green gas, forcing its way into the lungs of the men and women who were running for their lives, trampling each other.
Those closest to the explosion felt intense convulsions in their abdomens and spasms in their faces, involuntarily forced to bear wicked grins while their shattering breaths overtook the screams of terror in the form of wicked laughter.
Amidst the chaos, the charred photo that Zack once held fell slowly and gracefully, slightly charred, ignorant of the horror that it had been subject to. Slightly charred, it landed a few sections away from the explosions, trampled upon by infected spectators who had no idea what was being done to them.
 
 
A Few Minutes Earlier…
James Gordon’s office at the Gotham City Police Department headquarters was quiet as he sat at his desk, resting his elbows on its surface with his hands clasped, opposite Astrid Arkham, the frail-seeming daughter of Jeremiah Arkham. She had requested a meeting with him, and he had assumed it was for an update into Batman’s investigation into her father.
“Gotham City needs something new,” she began, catching him by surprise. His eyes widened slightly, then his brow furrowed. “We’ve been in this… this state of insanity for decades now, and it is only getting worse. This city is no longer livable, Commissioner.” He resisted the urge to groan. The only difference in Gotham City as it was and the Gotham City of before was that the murders had become spectacle.
When supervillains pushed out mobsters and gangsters, there was a shift in crime, but the results remained the same. Salvatore Maroni and Carmine Falcone knew how to keep their business quiet to the public unless they were in active war. Those were the good old days, now.
“Insane, maniacal supervillains,” she continued. “They rule the streets whenever they so choose. The police cannot deal with them, not under you. You rely on the Batman,” there was venom in her voice as she spoke the name, “and she sweeps up the problems while bringing deranged cultists and assassins into this city. She’s the heir of a small personal army with untold technology and she runs free. The Joker Riots, the assassin siege, Simon Hurt, all because the Batman has infested this town with these misguided thoughts of the supernatural, supposedly haunting our city.” Gordon remained silent.
“Essen’s incentives are now failing,” she said, watching Gordon closely for a reaction. If he gave one, she couldn’t see it. “How many companies that were enticed by her incentives have moved headquarters out of Gotham? They pay nothing in taxes, they have Essen licking their boots, and it’s still not enough. Despite all that’s happened, we haven’t been through hell yet, Commissioner. We’ve only arrived at the gates.”
“If I may, Miss Arkham,” said Gordon, leaning back in his chair, scanning the young woman up and down. “What’s your point?” He understood what she was saying, and he feared she was right, but he didn’t like the conclusion she was bringing forth.
“You are antiquated, Commissioner,” she replied, her face straight. “Obsolete. Your methods don’t work anymore, the law you uphold is no longer effective. Besides that, you are getting old. I can see the fatigue in your face, the bags under your eyes, your paleness. You’re not the detective you used to be.” Astrid leaned forward in her seat, putting her weight on her cane. “Gotham needs something new.”
Gordon’s phone rang, and for a brief moment he was thankful for the reprieve — but only for a moment.
 
 
I’d say I feel bad for the people at the Nighthawks game, but, if I’m totally honest, they had it coming. It’s about time everything caught up to them.
While we all ruminate on what’s happening at the game right now, let’s listen to some good music. This is Confetti by Viscera.
 
 
Batman had listened to as many notes as she could about a green gas that made anyone who inhaled it laugh uncontrollably. It typically led to suffocation through the inability to control the diaphragm, but this time it didn’t, and it confused the Dark Knight. A familiar sight, an attack that resulted in eery laughter, and yet it wasn’t what the city had seen before. None of the victims that hadn’t been in the initial blast had died, though medical care for each of them was necessary.
As much as she cursed herself for being late, not able to save anyone as the events unfolded, she knew that she needed to take control as fast as possible. She, along with every person in the city, dreaded what this attack meant. The name of a particular clown lingered on everyone’s tongues, though no one dared invoke his name.
Batman wasn’t so sure, and she hoped that her gut feeling was right. Most of the bodies that were recoverable had been extracted from the blast zone, over a dozen dead and dozens more injured. Blood and soot equally covered the destroyed seats, and even more on the concrete below.
One thing caught Batman’s eye amidst the mess, two sections away from the initial blast. A small instant print photograph, half burnt, laid on the ground, covered in dirty boot prints. She picked it up and looked it over, squinting as she studied the subject.
It was a blonde woman, head down with wet hair covering her face. Almost lost in the details was a small trail of blood behind the hair, mixing with trailing makeup. Batman frowned as she flipped the image over, seeing the note for a specific seat in the section of the stadium that had been blown to bits.
She approached the seat and kneeled, ducking down to see under the seat. It was one of few that remained intact after the explosions. Zack Howard’s Final Stop was scratched into the bottom of the seat, and at the sight of it, Batman signalled to Oracle to scan the engraving. She couldn’t identify the woman in the photograph, but she could see clearly enough that the attack was targeted at a specific person.
Another killer, she thought to herself, fearing what it could mean for the city. Pyg almost tore the richest members of the city’s economy apart, and they were ready to throw their own to the wolves. Now, there’d been a deadly gas attack at a football game — one that had been sponsored by many of Gotham’s elite.
The idea that the Clown Prince of Crime had returned was already making its way through the city — Batman knew she would have to exert control over everything she could to keep it from tearing itself apart at the seams. She was more than prepared to do so.
“It doesn’t look good,” she said to Oracle.
“Yeah,” she said, her voice distant. “I hope it’s just another copycat, they’re much easier to deal with.”
“I don’t know,” Batman replied, looking back at the photograph. “Something’s different.”

We open with a recap of Fatal Alliance, highlighting some of the key moments that occurred during the event, leading up to the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship match between Masato Kojima and "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones in a Hardcore Hell match. The match itself was a bloodfest with Kojima emerging as the new CPWA World Heavyweight Champion. We then see highlights of the CPWA World Tag Team Championship match between The Mortician and Mangod taking on The Jordans (Shelton and Elijah). The match was hard-hitting and explosive, but the Mortician and Mangod won the match and regained the CPWA Tag Team Championships.
The package ends and we open with a 30-second intro highlighting all of the stars of CPWA as The Roots' "BOOM" plays in the background. The intro ends with "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones holding the CPWA Heavyweight Championship belt over his head. Pyro goes off in the arena for a few seconds, followed by cheering from the crowd.
Brian Kinsley: We welcome you to CPWA Octane! We are coming to you live from Indianapolis, Indiana! Brian Kinsley along with Anthony Harris and Sir Samuel Stewart, and it's the fallout from Fatal Alliance!
Anthony Harris: We also have new champions, including new CPWA Tag Team Champions and of course, a NEW CPWA World Heavyweight Champion! Not to mention, that we'll be kicking off the second annual CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament.
Sir Samuel Stewart: Let's take it to the ring!
Buckshot, Skyzoo, Promise, and Sean Price's "I'm Better Than You" plays in the arena as "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones, along with Brother Julius make their entrance to address the crowd. Lejuan and Brother Julius enter the ring and address the crowd.
LeJuan Jones: My goals of becoming a double champion in two different promotions went up in flames thanks to not only Devon Gatlin-Tyson, but also Masato Kojima. I was supposed to be the true thriving force in not just CPWA, but also in UWC. I was expected to retain and go forth to dominating, but now I can't even do that. If you were expecting to see Masato Kojima tonight, he flew all the way back to Japan, where he can celebrate with the rest of his fellow hooligans. However, there is someone here tonight that's going to be competing in the main event again, and that's you DGT!
Big K.R.I.T.'s "Reign On" plays in the arena as GM Ronny Sharpe stands on the entrance stage.
GM Ronny Sharpe: LeJuan, you will not put your hands on Devon Gatlin-Tyson tonight. Seeing as you are still recuperating from your match, I would advise you not to interfere in tonight's main event, but then again, I am not Brother Julius, who should be telling you otherwise. Should you or any member of Number One Enterprises interfere in the main event tonight, LeJuan, you will never challenge for the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship again!
Brian Kinsley: That ought to slow his roll.
GM Ronny Sharpe: And another thing, UWC reached out to me and they are considering Devon Gatlin-Tyson to be the number one contender for their World Heavyweight Championship! So it looks like your title opportunities have vanished!
LeJuan is extremely livid from the revelation.
Anthony Harris: Sucks to be "The Number One Pick" right now.
Sir Samuel Stewart: I'm not sure what LeJuan Jones is gonna do until then...
We cut to the backstage area and we see Devon Gatlin-Tyson being interviewed by Kimberly Reynolds. DGT expresses his grattitude about being named number one contender for the UWC World Heavyweight Championship and believes that he is poised for great things in the future.
We cut back to the ring.

Match 1: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: First Round: Rory Irvine vs. Money Mark
The opening match to kick off the second annual CPWA Super Junior Carnival felt more drab than the usual lightning quick, crisp, and precise action you would expect from the Cruiserweights. Both guys felt like they had to rush through the match after a lengthy segment from LeJuan Jones. Rory won the match with a Celtic Cruifix Drop. Rory Irvine will face the winner of Tiger Kazama and El Colibri.
We cut to a recap of the CPWA Tag Team Championship match between The Mortician and Mangod taking on The Jordans (Shelton and Elijah), which lasts for a minute. The recap ends and we cut back to the ring.

Khan jumped out the gate hot and looked to pull off a major upset, but it wasn't meant to be. Keith Yang managed to weather the storm and hit Khan with Yang Time to get the win. Keith Yang will face the winner of Daigo Yoshimura and Silver Eyes.
We cut to a graphic hyping up a match between The Floribama Boyz (Jeremy and Kirk G.) taking on Pretty Boy.

Pretty Boy decimated the Floribama Boyz in brutal fashion, despite the tag team doing their best to subdue him. Pretty Boy ended the match with two tombstone piledrivers to Jeremy and Kirk G., pinning them on top of each other to secure the victory.
FIVE STARS!!!!!
After the match, Pretty Boy continued brutalizing the Floribama Boyz. Suddenly, Nu Breed's "Florida" plays in the arena as "Florida Man" Gary Strange rushes down to the ring and attacks Pretty Boy with a steel chair. "Florida Man" brings the fight to Pretty Boy, causing referees and road agents to rush in and break up the fight. Despite their efforts, Pretty Boy and "Florida Man" resumed their fight.
We cut to a graphic hyping up a match between Marco Rocha and Owen Benoit-Jericho. We then cut to a graphic hyping up the main event between The Olympians' Jordan Angle and Devon Gatlin-Tyson and Iron-Willed (Ivan Markov and Klaus Muller). We then see a graphic hyping up a match between Kwazi Nkosi and "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon.
***Commercial Break***
We come back from commercial break and we see Pretty Boy and "Florida Man" Gary Strange carrying their fight to the backstage area. Referees, road agents, and several competitors rush over to break up the fight. "Florida Man" then yells obscenities at Pretty Boy.
We then see Brother Julius on his cell phone with someone. Brother Julius nods and smiles before hanging up his cell phone and walking away with a satisfied look on his face. We cut back to the ring.
Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a first-round match for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament.

Announcer: And his opponent, from Seoul, South Korea, he is "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon!
Match 5: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: First Round: Kwazi Nkosi vs. "The Korean Idol" Han Sang-Hoon
A somewhat decent match, but the finish kinda soured since it felt like it was called on the fly. "The Korean Idol" had control for much of the match, but every now and then, Kwazi would make some sort of comeback. After a nearfall finish, Kwazi mounted a final comeback and won the match with a Phoenix Splash. Kwazi Nkosi will face the winner of Mark Starr and Deron "Ron" Jordan.
2 out of 5 stars.
We see Brother Julius talking with "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones about who he was on the phone with and whispers in his ear. LeJuan nods and daps up Brother Julius. We cut back to the ring.
Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a first-round match for the CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament.
Gabriel O Pensador's "Sem Parar" plays in the arena.
Announcer: Introducing first, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he is the CPWA Hardcore Champion Marco Rocha.
Blood Brothers' "Replica" plays in the arena
Announcer: And his opponent, representing The Commonwealth, from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he is Owen Benoit-Jericho.
Match 6: CPWA Super Junior Carnival Tournament: First Round: Marco Rocha vs. Owen Benoit-Jericho
Another match that looked promising, but also fell flat due to execution. The last time these two competitors faced off, it was a five-star classic. This time around, not so much. OBJ looked a bit off and it didn't help that Rocha was the one trying to carry the match. Rocha won the match wth a Jacknife Powerbomb pin. Marco Rocha will face the winner of Jason Reynolds and Ricky Vice.
1 out of 5 stars.
We cut to a graphic hyping up the main event between The Olympians' Jordan Angle and Devon Gatlin-Tyson and Iron-Willed (Ivan Markov and Klaus Muller).
***Commercial Break***
Brian Kinsley: Next week, CPWA will be in Chicago, Illinois for Octane. We will see more first round action in the Super Junior Carnival as Tiger Kazama takes on El Colibri, Daigo Yoshimura vs. Silver Eyes, Mark Starr taking on Deron "Ron" Jordan, and CPWA Cruiserweight Champion Jason Reynolds taking on Ricky Vice.
Announcer: Our main event is a tag team match scheduled for...
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Leo Arnaud's "Bulger's Dream" plays in the arena
Announcer: Introducing first, representing The Olympians, the team of Jordan Angle and Devon Gatlin-Tyson.
Metallica's "Orion" plays in the arena.
Announcer: And their opponents, representing Number One Enterprises, the team of Ivan Markov and Klaus Muller, Iron-Willed!
Main Event: The Olympians (Jordan Angle and Devon Gatlin-Tyson) vs. Iron-Willed (Ivan Markov and Klaus Muller)
While DGT may have been the focal point of this match, the rest of it was more of a slog to get through. As much as Jordan Angle and Klaus Muller loved to utilize their amateur wrestling acumen, the Indianapolis crowd wanted to see pro wrestling, rasslin' rasslin'. During the match, The Bushmasters (Shakir and Stokes) interfered in the match, attacking Angle, allowing Muller to place DGT in the Rings of Saturn to get the win for his team.
2 out of 5 stars.
After the match, The Bushmasters join Iron-Willed as they attack DGT and Jordan Angle. Ryan Phelps, Miguel Sandoval Jr., Chip Day, and Miles Orozco rushed down to the ring to help DGT and Angle. As DGT and Angle slid out of the ring to safety, Angle was attacked by the Soldiers of Misfortune (General Wade and Guerrilla God), leaving DGT at the mercy, or lack thereof, of "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones. It was an overwhleming 7 on 4 beatdown that saw Number One Enterprises and The Bushmasters beatdown The Olympians as Octane faded to black.

2024.05.16 04:20 ntsheppard89 First NFL Game for me and my Dad, is there a tailgate party on Mondays?

Hi all,
Long-time Broncos fan from Canada, have been cheering for the Broncos since the John Elway days as my old man was cheering for him to win the SB and that's my first football memory.
My Dad turns 60 this year, neither of us have ever been to an NFL game, and I've always wanted to surprise him with a flight to Denver to watch a Broncos game. The game that makes the most sense for a number of reasons is Dec 2nd, against Cleveland. It's a Monday night game.
My question is, will there be a tailgate party before the game given that it's a Monday night game?
Thanks all!

2024.05.16 04:13 ForceElectrical4005 my wip for critique (mild violence warning) The Weight of Sin

Malcolm's heart pounds through the design of a moth circling a lit candle on his black t-shirt. The morning sun creeps over the horizon. Saturating his pallor skin with blood orange rays. Malcolm’s short auburn hair flits in the wind.The crimson clouds overhead appear as if the sky is bleeding. Malcolm peers ahead. The straight path before him. a cruel joke. It's a relentless reminder of the unyielding grip his past has on him. Each step a battle against the anxiety dragging him back into the darknessHeavy-eyed, he gazes upon the looming hotel. Parking in the parking lot, illuminated by a lonely streetlight. The air, thick with the scents of morning dew and urine. An assault on the senses. Ahead, cowers a young lady. Her face, bearing too much rouge. Her delicate jawline, framed by red hair, though it's now past its prime. Her attire speaks of success, but the swollen left eye betrays her. Short red skirt. Black fishnet stockings over long. Thin legs, her feet fight to fit into petite black high heels. a faded sky blue tank-top. Christened with a spattering of fresh blood—amongst other fluids.Her current trick is an arrogant punk with tall, drooping shoulders. He wears an ire-filled smile and an unkempt goatee. His cue ball head reflects the streetlight. Revealing his ugly dark-blue Dickies covered in grease. As well as With his open, garish work shirt, exposing a red wife-beater. Sean managed to embody everything Malcolm found repulsive. A name tag hangs off the punk’s shirt like a crooked portrait: Sean.Scumbags like Sean are a tempting meal. Malcolm’s mouth waters. He tries to look away. Bang! Malcolm snaps his head up. His eyes find the streetwalker as she rolls off the hood of a shitty muscle car—no doubt Sean’s. A smart man would mind his own business. When a man has an opportunity for pleasure. it's hard to resist. Malcolm is an anomaly and anything but “smart”.The air crackles with tension as Sean's words slice through. “The fuck you want?”Give me a reason. The thought chants in Malcolm’s head. A surge of anger courses through Malcolm. his muscles tense with the urge to retaliate, but beneath the surface, fear gnaws at him. .Sean steps up to Malcolm. Within seconds, they stand eye-to-eye. “Mind your own business, man,” Sean says."Is this really worth it?" the girl asks, her voice tinged burdened with pain.Give me a reason. The thought continues to chant in Malcolm’s head. With each word. the atmosphere grows heavier, suffocating Malcolm with a sense of dread. He struggles to keep his composure, his thoughts an eye in the storm.“I will fuck you up.” Sean says.Give me a reason.The girl buckles as she tries to get back up.. Sean kicks her. “Stay down, bitch!” The sight of Sean's violence against the girl sends a jolt of hunger through Malcolm. His blood boils as he watches her struggle.“Fuck off.” Sean lobs a fist at Malcolm; to Sean’s pupils are pins, Malcolm allows it to connect.His lip split, Malcolm tastes the familiar rush of life filling his mouth. pain explodes through his senses, followed by a rush. It's a familiar sensation, one that ignites a fire. Action beats from Malcolm’s heart to his limbs. Joy washes over him. Sean’s eyes widen, his true cowardice reveals itself now that trouble flashes in front of his eye.Malcolm gives him a cheerful grimace and spits out “Thank you.”
