So, this is a story about peeing? What's next? The black urine?

The inverse anus is his next installment. Are you sure the message is about peeing? :)

I thought it was about being bullied?

The sad thing is that I honestly wouldn't put it beyond him. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the third series in TSA is actually the Inverse Anus.

I thought it was more about being the bully and the ego it creates.

Good short though.

“Bease!” he cried through snot and cramp and fire. “Bease! Leave me alone!“

This is naked Bakker. It is such a powerful sentence; snot and cramp and fire are just so evocative, coupled with the distortion of speech this paints a fantasticly vivid scene for me. This could have come out of the mouth of any Inchie/Sranc/Cnaiur prisoner.
