Several more matches passed before the main event: Lagoon Goon vs Sandy. Goon came out first, and Mitch went feral on them when they emerged. Sandy followed, riding on Louis’ shoulders. She was determined to avenge Zevon, and Jodie granted her this opportunity after an excessive amount of pleading. During her entrance, she pointed a…

Mitch strode off towards the commentary table with a confidence that he did not truly possess. With each step, his limbs grew heavier and heavier. At least Louis took the time to seal the facepaint, so even if he sweat profusely from either the heat or anxiety getting the better of him, nothing would budge….

“Should I bother with the paint?” Mitch asked Louis, who was in the process of applying his own makeup in the congested locker room. “They’re just hearing my voice, right?” “Hmm…” Louis stared into the mirror, focused on a spot he’d missed. Dipping the cheap sponge into a compact of grey facepaint, he gingerly blotted…

The universe, however, was seemingly unfinished with peddling its cruel agenda. Mitch’s pocket vibrated, and he pulled his phone out. He didn’t even need to unlock it to see that the message was from Calvin, and that it was a demand -not a request- that he come get his stuff by the end of the…

“Dad!” Jodie shouted, her voice echoing. “C’mon over here!” “Little busy, Jojo!” Victor shouted back from across the room. As far as Mitch could tell, he was playing some sort of makeshift bartender role with the homebrew stuff that Jodie brought. “You’re checking IDs?” Mitch joked as he walked past the small gathering. “This is…

“Oh my god, I can’t believe this!” Victor repeated several times while he gawked around the room and took in students, alumni, and roster members alike. He also made an effort to point out to everyone that it certainly wasn’t his 50th birthday; with each mention of it, the number dwindled further and further, until…

After a final sweep of the warehouse, Mitch informed everyone of the time and advised that they all hide behind the ring. According to Jodie’s most recent message, they’d just gotten off of Route 2, meaning they’d be arriving at any second. While waiting for everyone to get in place, he sent a text to…

But there was no time to let himself derail, not when Jodie depended on him to keep everything on the track. Arin, the Lagoon Goon, beckoned him over to check out their buffet spread, while also taking the opportunity to sneak in several apologies about the botch that resulted in his injury. Mitch reassured them…

Victor Delgado, aka Ladrón de Tumbas, was a household name in Santo Domingo, particularly where he grew up in the barrio San Carlos. Or, so he said. It was difficult to tell when he was either embellishing or just being evasive, and that drove Jodie up a wall. When they first met, she had to…

“Sorry, like, I’m not trying to intrude. You do you, obviously.” With some space now cleared out in the fridge, Avi resumed putting his groceries away. “But I went to school for physiotherapy. So come see me if you want help with recovery.” “Do you charge a copay?” joked Mitch. “Nah, just pay me in…
