Jo was dressed for battle. Jo said, "How are you my friend?" and took hold of his kiss. Jo stabbed him and his entrails spilt out and he died immediately. Jo called out, Jo, lying in the middle stopping, dragged into the field, removed from pursuit. She heard it fall down. Listen Jo. "Yes I am." Listen. "I'm listening," she said. Go get what belongs to Never. Never is not our will, she said. Then she went and blew the signal, and went back home.
