Capitol Conspiracy
“His head felt as if it were made of lead, and a blacksmith was hammering away, battering the metal into another shape.

Loving felt the hand grip his chin roughly, as he might grab a tomato he was planning to squa...sh.
“Are you awake?” someone in the darkness growled, in a thick Eurotrash accent.
Loving considered answering, but it seemed like too much effort, too likely to hurt.
Unfortunately, the man holding his face began to shake it, and that hurt even worse. “I said, are you awake?”

“You Americans. You think you are so tough. You will conquer the world. And then, a few little blows to the head and you are gone for days.”MoreLess
