Who the hell are you? he said.
Your baby's daddy, bro. I said.
Get the hell out of that bed.
Hey, su casa mi casa, am I right?

He rips the blanket off of me and jumps on the bed. He proceeds to mount me and deliver punches to my face. Stacy, his girlfriend who he walked in on us, is slowly watching her boyfriend mounting a man and delivering blows to his face. Call that a relationship.

I swear to god, he said, I'll rip your head off!

He continues to punch me in the face, blood flowing everywhere. I barely managed to get my hand covered in the blood. Three punches, more blood. Four more punches, more blood. After the next seven hits, I roll to the ground, my face in a puddle of blood. He jumps down and kicks me in the stomach.

When tries for the second time, I hook his leg and trip him. The guy flops on me like he's part of the Miami Heat. A few punches to my stomach followed, then a knee to my groin. He sat on top of me and laughed. I wipe my hand on my face, and it is covered with blood. I send my palm up to his face, rubbing of his mouth and getting under his eyelids.

His body slams to the side, hands over his face. He starts flopping around like a fish, and it makes me burst out into laughter.The scared cheater naked in the bed, a guy rolling around screaming, and a bloody psychopath laughing crazily. This sounds about normal.

I'm going to kill you! He screamed.
Not today, I laughed.

I walk over to the flounder and punt him in the gut, causing him to release another scream. It goes like this for three minutes.Once my shoe gets covered in blood, I stop and take it off. I toss it to the side and continued to kick some more. For some odd reason, he still is attempting to fight back. I roll him so he lies on his stomach. I take a deep breath, a roll of the wrist, and jump.

When I land on him, there is a brief second where I'm balanced on him.The next, he decides to roll over. It sends me mid-air, and ends with my head slamming into the ground. I fall onto a blood soaked carpet, ruining my, I meant his, white shirt.

We both lay on the ground, my legs being supported by his body. This happens for three minutes, until I get up. She stares at my blood covered body.

What are you doing later tomorrow? She asked.
Going to snort coke and watch Jerry Springer.
So, 3 would be a good time to come over?
Yep.

I limp to the bathroom and washed myself up. My nose appears to be broken, but I can fix that up later. There is spots of blood on my forehead, going up to my hairline. I dump my face into the water filled sink, washing my face. While underwater,"September" by Earth, Wind, and Fire starts playing. I take my head out to see I just received a text.

From: Nathaniel
Yo bro u need 2 get 2 d justice hall rite now! srs shit gon down rite now!

After finishing the crudely written text, I rush and put on my clothes. Since my shirt is soaking up the blood, I will take one of the guy's shirts. I walk over to his dresser and look at his shirts. I pick out a Grateful Dead shirt, put it on, and rush out.

The sun has yet to shine. I walk down the sidewalk, cars passing by staring at me. It is about a 16 minute walk until I get to the bus stop. To my surprise, there are two people sitting there for the 5:00 bus. A poorly dressed bum and a business woman sit there, looking blankly across the street. I sit awkwardly next to the bum. He turns,

My name is Joseph Ventura, he said, and I'm a soap salesman. You are?
Abcd Fastabend, I say, Governor of California.

Hey, thehotinpsychotic here to review!

I agree with the other reviewer; the governor part was interesting but random. The fight scene was unexplained; as were the characters. Also, try using a different word from "said", it makes your dialogue sound a little bland.

"I limp to the bathroom and washed myself up". That line switched tenses; you went from present to past for no reason. Try changing it to "I limp to the bathroom and wash myself up."

So the story ended confusingly so and kind of pointlessly. With some editing, this could do a lot better.

How about no editing? It's called understanding dialogue, which is clear that didn't happen

It's called writing a decent plot, which is clear that didn't happen

I didn't mean to come off as a jerk, but the whole reason why is said in the dialogue. Also, there is a sequel which will make more sense. If you plan on saying stuff like "write a decent plot", I ask if you can not review my works. I'm sorry, but yep

Fine, but just know that if you go around saying stuff like "It's called understanding dialogue..." you're going to piss people off.

At least you did something constructive, unlike others who just beat down on me. Still, the dialogue clearly states what's going on. It really doesn't help me when people don't understand what I'm saying. I know, this sounds really harsh of me saying it, but I'm here to state my opinion. Now, onto my review of your review. You can say whether you like it or not. That would really help, like a lot. "Pointless" obviously you misunderstood my point and I respect that. Saying that my plot sucks is very offensive as I never criticized you on any of your works. This is a problem that no one really read the plot and understood. So please, if you find problems with me and stating my opinion not to sound like a snob, can you try to not review my work from future conflict to not start an argument? Thanks

It pisses me off, and I was just saying something. I meant no offense on my part, and I know that it came off wrong. I know it will piss off people, but my opinion right? I said something, they misunderstood, and take me as a bad writer. Does it really help me that one person doesn't understand? No, it's my style of writing and I'm going to stick by it. Also, I ask if we can stop commenting on here to shy away from arguments

Review

This was a little confusing. It was hard to understand exactly what was going on. I got that someone was fighting because of all the blood, but I couldn't really understand why they were fighting. Additionally, the ending seemed to come out of no where. What does the fact that this person is the governor of California have to anything to do with the plot? Another thing, when a character is talking out loud in your writing, you need to have quotes around what they're saying. Also, the name you chose for the governor, "Abcd Jones" could have been more creative and original. It also didn't tell me whether the governor i a boy or girl. In my opinion, Your characters have a lot of room for more background information and descriptions. Overall, I think you should keep working on this and be sure to edit it! There were a lot of grammar mistakes to fix. If you have trouble editing it, you can always ask someone else to help you. Now, on the other hand, I think you have interesting idea here. What is the governor of California doing in a bloody one-on-one combat? What happens after that? Why was the governor beating this person? Is the governor undercover to find out secrets because he/she knows the city is being threatened? There are many ways you can go with this. Don't give up writing. The first step is to get something on paper and go from there.

Why would I give up? No, I'm not going to keep working on this. Its going to be a serial

The main character is the governor, and shows how destructive he is. No, I don't need quotations. Ever read Cormac Mccarthy? No? Exactly. Its a lot easier. Thanks for the review!
