... before saying, “I can’t believe you.” “Excuse me?” the person responds, “You’re just the absolutely terrible! That was once a living, breathing being. And you’re just gonna partake in the act of killing it? Disgusting. Shameful! You are the most unkind!” Raymond’s disappointed in himself. Not only is he doing something like this, but he sucks at doing it. The man swallows his mouthful before saying, “Ok. You done?” He needs to get Violet back for this. But how? He takes a moment to form something. Then it hits him. “Alright,” he whispers, “Look behind me, but be discrete about it.” The man complies. “There should be a girl right in front of the store,” Raymond continues, “What’s she doing?” “Uh, kinda laughing her ass off.” “Ok, I’m gonna level with ya, this was a dare. I’m not actually a vegan.” “Woah, really? No way. And you did such a convincing job. I mean, ‘You’re just the absolutely terrible’ is just peak performance.” “Alright, do you wanna give me shit for it or do you wanna make 200 bucks?” The man is astonished. “Seriously?” he questions, “Completely,” Raymond responds, “Ok, I’m listening.” Some time passes and Violet looks on as Raymond goes back and forth with the poor stranger.

Whatcha got?” He points at the guy who’s walking the opposite way from them before saying, “I dare you to seduce that guy.” Violet’s stunned. She didn’t expect him to suggest something this drastic. But not one to turn down a challenge, she scoffs and says, “That’s it? Wow, you suck at this game, dude.” She makes her way over to the guy who’s about to step into his car. “Hey,” she starts in a sympathetic tone, “Listen, I don’t care about the damn hotdog, alright?” the guy snaps back, “No, it’s nothing like that. I just saw what went down and wanted to see how you’re doing.” “Oh, God, I’m so sorry. I’m not usually like this. Uh, thanks. I’m doing alright.” “Just aright?” She puts her hands behind her back and sways from side to side before saying, “Cause I can make your day a bit better than that.” The guy puts his hands in his pockets before walking up to Violet, “Oh, really?” he says, “And how do you plan to do that?” “Oh, a girl has her ways.” She inches closer to him, dimming her eyes in the process. The man does the same. They inch closer and closer to each other. But before they make ...
