If I get there and see Mark, I might be in for a fight.
I hope he’s a small guy. If he’s small I can take him.

And I will take him.
Probably not.

I don’t want to get arrested—not in upstate NY of all places.
But still, fuck Mark.

…

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. This girl that I’m after, Lisa,
she’s dating a dude named Mark.

What do I know of him?

Mark

What do I know about Mark?

Well, not much really.
● I know that they lived together and that when Lisa

and I first started talking to each other they’d fucked a
few times despite Mark already having a girlfriend.

● The cheating sonofabitch.
● Also, Mark has no dreams or aspirations. And based

on my experience, guys like that tend to be very good
in a fight because they don’t have much to lose.

● So I guess I should be cautious. And maybe
get a knife.

● I also know that Mark recently broke up with his
longtime girlfriend and started dating Lisa right after.
● The moment Lisa told me that they became
official should have been when I got off the
boat and just stopped talking to her
altogether, because as I’ve learned from
watching MTV—there’s no point in talking to a
chick if she’s already taken.
