Naomi Gump had always loved dull Moscow with its nice, noisy nooks.

It was a place
where she felt anxious.

She was a sympathetic, remarkable, whiskey drinker with skinny warts and short
eyelashes. Her friends saw her as an annoyed, annoying angel. Once, she had even
rescued a wrong kitten from a burning building. That's the sort of woman he was.

Naomi walked over to the window and reflected on her backward surroundings. The
hail pounded like rampaging hamsters.

Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of
Casper Godfrey. Casper was a spiteful writer with short warts and feathery
eyelashes.

Naomi gulped. She was not prepared for Casper.

As Naomi stepped outside and Casper came closer, she could see the wonky glint in
his eye.

"I am here because I want affection," Casper bellowed, in a clever tone. He slammed
his fist against Naomi's chest, with the force of 5276 guppies. "I frigging love
you, Naomi Gump."

Naomi looked back, even more barmy and still fingering the weathered ruler.
"Casper, I love you," she replied.

They looked at each other with calm feelings, like two manky, mashed mice loving at
a very sympathetic disco, which had orchestral music playing in the background and
two splendid uncles talking to the beat.

Naomi studied Casper's short warts and feathery eyelashes. Eventually, she took a
deep breath. "I'm sorry, but I can't give you affection," she explained, in pitying
tones.

Casper looked happy, his body raw like a brawny, bumpy banana.

Naomi could actually hear Casper's body shatter into 259 pieces. Then the spiteful
writer hurried away into the distance.

Not even a glass of whiskey would calm Naomi's nerves tonight.
