## Chapter 1 – In the Beginning There Was Darkness
The fist hit my nose like a malformed sledgehammer. It hurt. And when I say hurt, I don’t just mean in the physical way. It hurt my pride more than anything. The fist was withdrawn once more and the face of the ugly man wielding it showed through a swimming of stars.
“Give me one reason why I shouldn’t hit you again.”
I blinked the tears out of my eyes and worked my mouth, trying to form words. It went all right.
“You shouldn’t hit me,” I mumbled, blood running down from my nose into my mouth. “Cause your girlfriend’s pussy tastes like salmon.”
The last word came more like sermon due to a broken lip. But he got the drift. The fist hit me again.
