Sounds like a real speech a teen boy would make, with all the ah’ and pauses and the cusses.

Great continuation. I agree with Kermitgorf, the diction is spot on for a high-school guy and his (occassional apparent lack of) vocabulary. I could hear it perfectly and believeably in my head. Well, well done.

i agree with g2. i could see and hear this in my head. once again, nice continuation. It keeps the flow, power, and emotion with it nicly.
