Motherfuckers, they were a bunch of butchers is what they were. And it doesn’t matter how she looked at it, tossing around on the bed, she couldn’t sleep, out of shame for not having said anything.

Y dele vueltas a lo mismo, ahí entre esa cama; no la dejaba dormir la humillación de haber tenido que quedarse callada, mejor le hubiera pegado un buen tirón a ese mantel tan bordadito en punto de cruz para que se estamparan contra la pared la omelet de queso y las íles flotantes, y en cambio no dijo esta boca es mía y se fue comiendo bocado a bocado toda su comida, ahí en esa mesa, escuchando malparideces y haciéndose la pendeja, y ahora qué malestar, qué revoltura de estómago, ni que hubiera tragado veneno.
