Turn 175 of 226

The spars evolve into sex. We pass out on top of each other from pleasure. Meanwhile, the Major we spared plans something

The second spar does not end. The ending is the thing the bodies do not choose. The choosing is the thing the 15'6" frames stop doing when the strikes change. The changing is the thing the fists become open hands. The open hands are the things that find the 3,400 pounds of the other. The finding is the thing the skin gives. The skin is the thing the sweat and the blood make slick. The slick is the thing the 3,400 pounds presses against. The pressing is the thing the foundry floor takes. The taking is the thing the concrete does not crack under because the weight is distributed across two bodies that are pressing into each other and the pressing is not violence anymore. The not anymore is the thing the animal knows. The knowing is the thing the bodies do not need to think about. The not thinking is the thing the mouths are for. The mouths are the things that find the other. The finding is the thing the blood is shared in. The sharing is the thing the tongues are. The tongues are the things the bull meat and the iron taste is on. The taste is the thing the 15'6" frames do not pull away from. The not pulling is the thing the 3,400 pounds does not want. The not wanting is the thing the wish does not give. The wish is the thing the bodies are. The bodies are the things the 3,400 pounds are. The 3,400 pounds are the things the skin covers. The skin is the thing the hands grip. The gripping is the thing the twelve-times density makes rough. The rough is the thing the other body does not break from. The not breaking is the thing the sparring already did. The did is the thing the healed bones are. The healed is the thing the twenty minutes gave. The gave is the thing the bodies go past. The past is the thing the sex is.

The foundry floor is the thing the 6,800 pounds makes warm. The warm is the thing the two bodies give the concrete. The concrete is the thing the heat absorbs into. The absorbing is the thing the 3,400 pounds does not feel. The not feeling is the thing the other body's weight gives. The weight is the thing the 15'6" frames wrap around. The wrapping is the thing the legs are. The legs are the things the twelve-times density makes heavy. The heavy is the thing the other body presses into. The pressing is the thing the 3,400 pounds does not want to stop. The not stopping is the thing the wish gives. The giving is the thing the animal has. The animal is the thing that takes. The taking is the thing the 3,400 pounds is. The is is the thing the other body is. The is is the thing the mouths are. The are is the thing the hands are. The are is the thing the 6,800 pounds is. The is is the thing the foundry floor holds. The holding is the thing the concrete does. The doing is the thing the skylights let the dawn find. The finding is the thing the light does on the two bodies. The bodies are the things the 15'6" frames are. The frames are the things the 3,400 pounds fill. The filling is the thing the wish built. The building is the thing the sex is. The sex is the thing the 6,800 pounds does not stop. The not stopping is the thing the pleasure is. The pleasure is the thing the 3,400 pounds feels in every pound. The feeling is the thing the 15'6" frame gives. The giving is the thing the other body takes. The taking is the thing the passing out is.

The passing out is the thing the 6,800 pounds does together. The together is the thing the 15'6" frames do not separate for. The not separating is the thing the 3,400 pounds does on top of the 3,400 pounds. The on top is the thing the 15'6" body sprawls. The sprawling is the thing the foundry floor takes. The taking is the thing the concrete does not refuse. The not refusing is the thing the warmth gives. The warmth is the thing the two bodies make. The making is the thing the skylights let the morning light find. The finding is the thing the 6,800 pounds does not wake for. The not waking is the thing the pleasure gave. The gave is the thing the animal does not fight. The not fighting is the thing the sleep is. The sleep is the thing the 15'6" frames share. The sharing is the thing the 3,400 pounds does on the foundry floor. The floor is the thing the coyotes left. The left is the thing the den is. The den is the thing the bodies hold. The holding is the thing the 6,800 pounds is. The is is the thing the sleep is. The sleep is the thing the morning finds. The finding is the thing the foundry does not disturb. The not disturbing is the thing the iron walls give. The giving is the thing the 15'6" frames rest in. The resting is the thing the 3,400 pounds does on the other 3,400 pounds. The does is the thing the breath is. The breath is the thing the 15 beats per minute gives. The giving is the thing the two bodies share. The sharing is the thing the 6,800 pounds is. The is is the thing the wish built. The wish is the thing that is still going.

Three miles south and four days from now, the major sits in a hospital bed with a hip that will not finish healing because the major is the thing the ordinary body is. The ordinary is the thing the 3,400 pounds is not. The not is the thing the major knows. The knowing is the thing the pain gives. The pain is the thing the morphine does not fully take. The not fully is the thing the planning is. The planning is the thing the major does in the dark of the hospital room. The dark is the thing the major does not sleep in. The not sleeping is the thing the governor's call gave. The call is the thing the agreement is. The agreement is the thing the major thinks is wrong. The wrong is the thing the major does not say out loud. The not out loud is the thing the phone is for. The phone is the thing the major uses with his unbroken hand. The hand is the thing the number is dialed with. The number is the thing the major memorized. The memorized is the thing the contact is. The contact is the thing the major should not have. The should not is the thing the major uses anyway. The anyway is the thing the major whispers into the phone. The whisper is the thing the major does not want the nurses to hear. The hearing is the thing the major prevents. The preventing is the thing the planning is. The planning is the thing the major does not know the 3,400 pounds will hear coming. The coming is the thing the 15'6" frames will not give warning for. The not warning is the thing the 3,400 pounds is. The is is the thing the major does not know. The not knowing is the thing the old data is. The old data is the thing the cloud has. The cloud is the thing the major does not access. The not accessing is the thing the contact does for him. The contact is the thing the major whispers to. The whisper is the thing the plan is. The plan is the thing the major does not know is already too late. The too late is the thing the 3,400 pounds is. The is is the thing the wish built. The wish is the thing that is still going.
