Hello, I am Enè Ioh, I have come to to tell you a story that takes place within the place. I start at the place; I go to the place. Here we are, at the place. I am now at the place. I know what I say is of no consequence and I will be killed for it. It means so…

He’s got horns and a tail
I found him on sale
He’s got snake in his DNA
Evil in his eye

She was asked: “What would it mean to be in a great earthquake to you?”
She said: “It would mean that I might never see him again.”
