"You can't fight evil with evil" said Jim.

  • "You can't fight evil with evil" said Jim. Aubry loathed Jim and set out to disprove him by releasing hyper-virulent mosquito HIV to end malaria. 3 days later, it mutated to humans

  • bosom. But the pressure popped Aubrey's bulging pustules, spraying a sickly green goo all over Jim. Aubrey's countenance was one of extreme

    Dybbuk - (Yiddish) the soul of a dead sinner that has transmigrated into the body of a living person. Inspired by the Coen Borther's movie, A Serious Man. (My misspelling)
