It’s Not All Slight Of Hand
He swallows a mouthful of saliva as it tries to escape his mouth, then drags his sleeve across his mouth, wiping away the excess drool. Then nervously looks up at Roberto and smiles awkwardly. “S-Sorry, when I g-get carried away m-my adrenal glands kick into overdrive and f-flood my mouth with saliva.”

“What! Were you hoping for that rainbow you’ve been chasing?”
“I-I-I…”
“You’re what? You’re sorry?”
“I-I-I…”

As the sun sets behind the mountain top that will be Jarrod’s final resting place, he allows the newly formed rainbow that stands before him to be his silent witness.
“Foolish was my ways, had I seen the end before it was what it has become, I would’ve broken my path and allowed trust to form between me and those that have betrayed me.” he says as he drops to his knees, splashing in the puddle of red that continues to grow beneath him.

The rainbow shatters and Sammy tumbles through it, screaming in agony as shards of stars cut and tear at his flesh. Then the ground is suddenly in his face, and for several moments he lay there silent and still.
“Pathetic,” a voice snarls from somewhere above, as Sammy awkwardly picks his bloody carcass from the ground.
“B-B-Better t-t-than having a-a-a micro dick,” Sammy stammers through quivering lips.
The beast appears from out of the darkness thrusting itself on top of Sammy, and as it pins him to the ground it smiles broadly while it holds its enormous penis in hand.
