Burmese Rubies

Mr. Fickett

wreaking of death and aging syphillitic skin, came into the store today for his monthly visit. His breath exudes the stench of pure disease, if youve never smelt disease i cant explain the smell... its different and wretched. I dont know if his teeth are yellow from not brushing or because of the diseased breath lapping over them 26000 times a day. Despite all his wretchedness, I am fond of him. I just cant stand too closely when I listen to his stories. Today we discussed rubies, papillon, and diamonds.
