TIC (any gender, mid-teens on up)
I'm not blubbering,
I, I, I, I,
I don't know how he did it, but after he decided to leave me alive, he give me this tic where I repeat what I say.
I repeat what I say.
Yeah- I repeat what I say.
But anyway- I repeat what I s- Damnit!
[breath, breath]
Okay I think I might have it together enough. I'm just to going to get it out in one breath, I don't think the tic- it doesn't come back if I'm on a good flow.
It doesn't come back if I'm on-
if I'm on-
[Deep breath in. Next part all in one breath]
You've always known more about the world than I have but you've got to believe me when I say this guy will stop at nothing to kill you if you're really on his bad side because he thinks he's just a loving instrument of death and even worse he has these abilities and this isn't me getting hysterical, he can do crazy things to people so you've got to remember to never
to never,
to never
to never, to never
to never, to never
to never, to never
to NEVER-
[deep breath and end piece]
