Roman Semionovich - Black Volhv / Priest of ChernobogÂ

âWe had to come here because you donât answer your damn phone.â Curranâs voice had that icy quality that said his patience was at and end.
âI donât answer the phone because I unplugged it.â Roman waved his hand. The scorpion retreated. The tentacles gently set me down and slithered back into the ground. âYou would unplug yours too if you were related to any of my family. My parents are fighting again and theyâre trying to make me choose sides. I told them they could talk to me when they start acting like responsible adults.â

He plugged the phone into the outlet.
It rang.
Roman stared at it as if it were a viper.
He unplugged it. âThere.â
âIt canât be that bad.â I told him.
âOh, itâs bad.â Roman nodded. âMy dad refused to help my second sister buy a house, because he doesnât like her boyfriend. My mother called him and it went bad. She cursed him. Every time he urinates, the stream arches up and over.â
