Irrational Rage

[Kay Sera]

See, I got this disease, it's called "irrational rage syndrome". My doctor says that something's wrong with my brain so when I get provoked, I just flip shit and can't control it. That's why I'm damn good at cage fighting, you know?

So when I was walking through Wal-Mart, and that fucking ex-con, just outta jail for beating on his wife, see, when he clocked me, it was all over for him. The police didn't even know what happened to him, and see, I couldn't really tell 'em either 'cause I, I kinda black out when it happens. 

All I know is that he sure as hell didn't beat his wife, which is what he was gonna do, and when I come back to my senses, he was out cold, bleeding, with a ring of those little green olives and broken glass all 'round his head.

[Paraphrased from a friend's story of a coworker. I don't usually swear, even in writing, but this one needed it.]

Nice story. You don't hear much about street fighting heroes anymore... it's all reality TV. Excellent account.

it might not be entirely true. my friend isn't sure which to believe; either his coworker is a pathological liar, with a gift for storytelling, or his coworker is a 17-0 cage fighter with irrational rage. who knows? it was a fun story to write regardless.

can you imagine being the one to witness this guy knocking the other guy out, out of the blue like thisj, olives all over the place?

i guess it really would sound like that.   yikes!

Very nice rhythm in this and it's TRUE?!  Yum fun.

As long as it's properly channeled ... and this was.
