&,&&,,,,,, IT'S A GIRL STINGRAY, GORGEOUS, ,,,,,,,,,,
,,&&&,,,,, COVERED IN WHAT'S LEFT OF HER PREY. ,,,,,,,,,,
,,&,&&,,,, SHE SMILES AT US, FLASHING HER TEETH, &,,,,,,,,,
,,,,&&&,,, A RAY OF STINGS. &&,,,,,,,,
,,,,&,&&,, &&&,,,,,,,
,,,,,,&&&, A BIT LATER SHE SUMMONS A MINK AND &,&&,,,,,,
,,,,,,&,&& SHOWS US HOW TO GUT IT. ,,&&&,,,,,
,,,,,,,,&& ,,&,&&,,,,
,,,,,,,,&, ~ ,,,,&&&,,,
,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,&,&&,,
,,,,,,,,,, YOU HOLD IT FIRMLY IN ONE HAND, BELLY &,,,,,&&&,
,,,,,,,,,, EXPOSED, AND WITH A DAGGER CUT THROUGH ,&,,,,&,&&
&,,,,,,,,, THE SKIN STARTING AT THE GUTS, MOVING ,,&,,,,,&&
&&,,,,,,,, UP OVER THE RIBCAGE, TOWARDS THE HEAD. ,,,&,,,,&,
&&&,,,,,,, &,,,&,,,,,
&,&&,,,,,, NEXT YOU CAN JUST STICK YOUR HAND ,&,,,&,,,,
,,&&&,,,,, INSIDE, GRAB AND PULL (HOLD THE CUT ,,&,,,&,,,
,,&,&&,,,, DOWNARD AT THIS POINT) AND IT SHOULD ,,,&,,,&,,
,,,,&&&,,, ALL BE FALLING OUT. FOR STICKY ORGANS &,,,&,,,&,
,,,,&,&&,, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO USE THE DAGGER AGAIN. ,&,,,&,,,&
&,,,,,&&&, ,,&,,,&,,,
,&,,,,&,&& THEN WASH THE MINK IN RUNNING WATER OR &,,&,,,&,,
,,&,,,,,&& SNOW. AND YOU'RE DONE! ,&,,&,,,&,
