You forget what you were doing?
No I starting thinking about who that whore fucked a retard and instead on me and that thought distracted me from the task I was preforming. The thought ended with me deciding that I'm going to rape your personal whore and kill you when she srceams for your help. In front of her. And then I rape her in a pool of your blood. And then I when I finished fantasising about both of your deaths; I continued what I was doing.
