    CLOCKWORK STORYBOOK: The Guns… They’ve Stopped: Counterpoint

    Matthew SturgesBy Matthew SturgesJanuary 7, 20121 Comment1 Min Read

    Mark asks why the guns have stopped. Why no trash talk? Oh, Mark. I think we all know the answer to that. Nobody wants to make you cry like a little girl. That’s why.

    Here’s the thing. I’m trying to lose a few pounds, okay? I’m living on caffeine and sugar-free Werther’s Originals right now. And my story has taken a turn for the lousy. And I don’t know how it ends. Or even how it middles. My civility is a currently a thin veneer covering a pulsating mass of pure rage. If I let the top off, there’s no telling what I’ll say or do.
    (Finn, you talentless bald troll)
    No! I didn’t say that! That was the last cappuccino talking, is all.
    (Justus…couldn’t write his way out of a paper bag if you let him trace over the letters…)
    Did you hear something? I didn’t.
    (Gregory, if you wrote any slower, you’d be J.D. Salinger…)
    Um. I should probably stop for the moment. My eyes are bulging. Excuse me, barista? Another mocha. And a shotgun. With whip.

      Nothing you’ve written above makes any sense. For God’s sake, man, if you’re going to make a public post, at least make an effort to make sense.
