Strangling Quote by Jason Z. Christie
““Got any new ways to torture and kill people?” “Hmmm,” said the voice. “Did you try stabbing them?” “Of course. That’s one oh one stuff.” “Shooting?’ “With extreme prejudice.” “Burning?” “Yes.” “Strangling?” “Naturally, I mean, I strangle people while I’m sleeping, even.” “Crushing?’ “Sure.” “Mangling?” “All the time.” “Hmmmm. Can we think about this?””
