  • What is in these bags? He asked himself. I should open them and see for myself. A second thought: Or I should just leave them and leave this scene. A third thought: let me just see what is inside. What’s the big deal? As he opened the first bag, his eyeballs bulged, and his lips parted wide open.

His nose was broad, and his nostrils wide open like the holes in a double-barrelled gun. Then his lips were full, dark, and thick. With the long scar across his face and an evil goatee hanging from his chin, he had the meanest face one could ever imagine seeing in the morning.
