Den fineste og også voldsomste egenskab Distortion rummer er at være ret stinker vild fri og så røv tilgængelig på samme tid.

Dyret Distortion brøler én gang om året og formår at få byen til at gynge på tusinder af måder og på samme tid – i et super styret land, hvor store dele af befolkningen sucker efter kontrol. De gamle synes det skal være som i gamle dage. Sådan er det at blive gammel. Faktum er at Distortion har funket en ellers rimelig stille og til tider også ret kedelig by op. Også når der ikke er Distortion. I april og i november og marts og alle de andre underlige måneder.

Vi er tossede med det, det gør ved os.
