He kept his cool and watched through dark sunglasses, whilst sweat trickled conspicuously down his temples. The Big Corporations; he was supposed to be at the top of all this. These worlds formed out of empty McDonald’s containers and Coke cans and whathaveyou. He could snipe from the lofty heights of penthouse apartments, but this was all street-fight. It was dirty and pleasant and emotional and screaming and what Christmas is all about.
