Two
screens
into
my
demo
to
Microsoft
,
I
taste
blood
and
have
to
start
swallowing
.
My
boss
does
n't
know
the
material
,
but
he
wo
n't
let
me
run
the
demo
with
a
black
eye
and
half
my
face
swollen
from
the
stitches
inside
my
cheek
.
The
stitches
have
come
loose
,
and
I
can
feel
them
with
my
tongue
against
the
inside
of
my
cheek
.
Picture
snarled
fishing
line
on
the
beach
.
I
can
picture
them
as
the
black
stitches
on
a
dog
after
it
's
been
fixed
,
and
I
keep
swallowing
blood
.
My
boss
is
making
the
presentation
from
my
script
,
and
I
'm
running
the
laptop
projector
so
I
'm
off
to
one
side
of
the
room
,
in
the
dark
.
More
of
my
lips
are
sticky
with
blood
as
I
try
to
lick
the
blood
off
,
and
when
the
lights
come
up
,
I
will
turn
to
consultants
Ellen
and
Walter
and
Norbert
and
Linda
from
Microsoft
and
say
,
thank
you
for
coming
,
my
mouth
shining
with
blood
and
blood
climbing
the
cracks
between
my
teeth
.
You
can
swallow
about
a
pint
of
blood
before
you
're
sick
.
Fight
club
is
tomorrow
,
and
I
'm
not
going
to
miss
fight
club
.
Before
the
presentation
,
Walter
from
Microsoft
smiles
his
steam
shovel
jaw
like
a
marketing
tool
tanned
the
color
of
a
barbecued
potato
chip
.
Walter
with
his
signet
ring
shakes
my
hand
,
wrapped
in
his
smooth
soft
hand
and
says
,
"
I
'd
hate
to
see
what
happened
to
the
other
guy
.
"
The
first
rule
about
fight
club
is
you
do
n't
talk
about
fight
club
.
I
tell
Walter
I
fell
.
I
did
this
to
myself
.
Before
the
presentation
,
when
I
sat
across
from
my
boss
,
telling
him
where
in
the
script
each
slide
cues
and
when
I
wanted
to
run
the
video
segment
,
my
boss
says
,
"
What
do
you
get
yourself
into
every
weekend
?
"
I
just
do
n't
want
to
die
without
a
few
scars
,
I
say
.
It
's
nothing
anymore
to
have
a
beautiful
stock
body
.
You
see
those
cars
that
are
completely
stock
cherry
,
right
out
of
a
dealer
's
showroom
in
1955
,
I
always
think
,
what
a
waste
.
