Corcodușa screamed and grabbed the railing. Baby, it's dark in here, she said. Can I turn on my phone flashlight? Pssst, Father Agheasmie whispered to her, the Presbytera can hear us. The walls are very thin. We'll be in the basement soon. The gypsy sighed, pulling up the hem of her dress. Before her, the rotting wooden stairs creaked under the weight of the priest.

The scene was set somewhere in Tardeo, a slum of Mumbai, in one of the twin 833-foot-tall imperial towers. A cheap porno made by HollyMood Production in collaboration with DipinMumbastic. Top floor. On the outside escape staircase. She, a 5'10 former C-Movie dancer, he, a midget with a hose wrapped around his little leg. I want to film you from the bottom up. The wind will help with the skirt flapping. Action. A gust blows the midget off the ladder. Inspired, he made it a lasso.

Jumped out of bed, grabbed the torch and ran to the window. Two ladder heads appeared, and a curly one. The lady's face lit up.An echoing roar and a thud shook the kingdom. Oh man, this guy has never seen me without makeup before.
