his eyes looked fresh out of a ******* crying session
I walked up to him and asked what was wrong
He showed me his phone and what I saw were pictures of some dismembered kitten, head and legs and tail cut off
"The ****?" I said
He shook his head. "My girlfriend. She thought I gave my cat almost as much attention as I gave her. She couldn't have that."
"****, man. I'm so sorry."
"My mother gave me that kitten before she left for Italyβ¦"
"Gods⦠you⦠You reported your girlfriend, right?"
Just then his phone rang and he was quick to pick up. It was an alarm. He looked at the screen and took a few big steps away from me. "Sorry bro, you took too much of my time. I gotta get home now."
"Wait," I said, "Aren't we going for some drinks?"
He ran away from me as fast as he could. "Sorry, I can't give you that much of my time. My girlfriend's waiting for me. Bye."
Well, I went drinking by myself. Unfortunately it did not get the images out of my head
