To say Agustina put her foot in this book would be a poor, but accurate, choice of words for a book about humanity's commitment towards government-sanctioned cannibalism. From abhorrent conditions for "meat" and "flesh" for sale, we follow the steps of a deceptive protagonist who offers subversive, and complicit accounts of the everyday life of Carlos Tejo, a meat runner leading us through this world of disgustingly parallel sentiments on consumption of one's humanity and the complicity for such madness for our safety. Rage with me as we bring in October for a month of horror and disgust. Enjoy! BYYEEE!!!!

Black cats, deep bodies, and complicit aunts make this a story that you don't want to miss. I hope you enjoy tonight's episode introducing us to September and the Fall season! BYYEEE!!!!

Maybe something can found on the other side of such an experience. You'll just have to watch today's episode to find out. BYYEEE!!!!
