This was a short and wild ride with descriptive language that really leaves you reeling for a few different reasons, ranging from "ew wtf" to "can't you just say they coughed" to "I don't know half these words."

Never the less, I enjoyed that ride. Worth the day it took me to read it between work tasks.
