You want to teach me a new parkour move. It involves a coat hook with a ball on the end of it. I’m supposed to take a running jump, and land on it in a seated position. I argue that it might hurt. It will be fine, you say.
Neck Capsule
I am part of an elite group of female assassins. For my first mission, I must kill a middle-aged woman. She is sitting on her couch waiting for us, and accepts that her death is a necessary part of the society we live in. To kill her, I insert a small capsule into a hole in the back of her neck. She froths a bit, and takes a long time to die. I ask the other women if this is normal. It happens sometimes, they say.
Three Bags of Cat Fur
I vacuum up all of the cat hair. There is enough to fill three garbage bags. I line up the cats in a row and tell them : FROM NOW ON WE'RE GOING TO DO THINGS MY WAY. They agree to stop shedding. I am not sure if they speak, or just nod.
Paper Hearts
We shave our heads, and go looking for a place to have a drink. The bar we find is run by the Russian Mafia. We order drinks, but find out we were supposed to bring our own bottles. In the corner, a girl is drawing caricatures of customers on large paper hearts. They are very popular, and she is doing brisk business.
Severed Arm
I am flying a helicopter mission in India, in high winds. While trying to land on the top of a building to rescue some people, I chop off a couple of their arms. On my second attempt, I manage to get most of the people off the top of the building.
