Chapter 2 - The Man

Calmly he choose wheter this one or that one, wheter he should get one or more and then he stood as if to read the note but deep inside he was contemplating if he wanted to pay for this or not, does this even taste as good as it look.

A SELF REFLECTED TORTURE you can't escape no matter what you do.
