How did I mix up? This can't be right...
Was it this finger? ..or this... hm.
On this little pinky I got a tiny smudge.
And a burn-mark on the thumb.
Some also got dirt under the fingernails.
My fingers need some cleaning up I guess.
But not yet... not yet.
I need to count them again.
1, 2, 3, ...9.
How could I make such a mistake?
I got 9 fingers and 3 palms.
Damn it. I gotta go kill another one...
