Tu vash misht. Tu vask misht. Grushdeva du kalt misht.
Surrender your flesh.
Surrender your will.
Your vengeance is through me…
Everything was ready. The ordinary razor blade was broken in two to provide better grip and control, the tissue papers to dry the blood that would be running shortly, the ash tray to gather the excess blood and soaked tissues, the lit candle for the hot wax that he would use later to fill the [...]
