Where were you when the squid totally beefed it?
I was in school. english class, if I recall correctly. we were reading Paradise Lost when our geometry teachers car pulled up, squealing his tires as a he parked haphazardly in the middle of the parking lot. he burst in the front door, jacket only half on, and cried out "turn on the TV! NOW!"
The class fell silent. this was a timid man, a man who'd rather be insulted by a student than give a detention. to see him shaken like this was forboding of something bad, even to the retards in the back of the class who were drawing boobs and penises on their copy of the book. the whole class stared at the front of the room, waiting for our teacher to make a move.
When the TV finally went on, it was about 40 minutes into the affair. constant replays of the mondo beefage ran back to back, in an endless, horrific loop. reaction shots of people screaming, running away, trampling each other... and the firemen. god, the firemen. while a whole city runs away, the firemen are actually running directly into the beefage. Icouldn't do it.
I moved my chair closer to Cassandra, who looked completely confused and horrified by the situation. She needed me. I took her by the hand and we sat, closest to the television, hand in hand, watching as the beefage changed the world forever.
