It was around twelve when Rogelio entered his roos atop his bed, he takes off his shi+rt and hangs it on a nail on the wall, next to a poster of dogs playing billiards, an old calendar with a picture of the Sto Nino, and a new calendar of Phoebe Cates using her hands to cover her nude chest He lays down on the mattress of the ba and savoring thethe scenes in his head, trying to ignore the drunk neighbors a few steps from their place
”Did you get to call hiuy
”I didn't bother, he could be asleep”
”What time is it in Saudi anyway?”
He knows the voice of the loudPrecious A nice guy, but is really chatty when drunk…which is every Friday and Saturday And the other five days of the week

”Mother is going to RCPI² to telegrams until she hears about Joel”
”Relax, the coues are sick Hahahahaha!”
”Then, I think I'll just be returning tomorrow”
”You don't wanna drink?”
There were uys before an explosion of raucous laughter This was followed by the barking of dogs, the sound of opening San Miguels³, bottle caps splattering around A coelio tries to sleep He covers his face with a pillohen the drunkards suddenly go silent The barking of dogs took over The sound of falling bottles Incoherent conversations but there was clearly no laughter Chairs are pulled out Running

Captain Who ansith a powerful leap Theof the old building shatters as the savior bursts through There was no light in the place except for thein He looks to the left, nobody He look to the right, an animal covered in hair surprises him And with that a punch to his face that throws hioes darker with airborne dust He was still trying to figure out what's going on when the hairy beast stood upon him once more; it was a man, but covered in hair four inches thick It holds hi to the other side of the roo steel cabinets crumple under him Not satisfied, the creature follows him and kicks hiles to stand up and protect hi of his palms, he is able to make a blast field that could protect hi kick But it wasn't on tiets up to go on the offensive Using thery on his fists like a projectile ten horsepower strong, he punches the enemy away to several meters
