Johnson & Johnson

To cut a long story short: It is the story of a woman, a hunter, a razor blade, a disease, a painkiller … At a certain moment there is domestic violence … But the blood is only splashing to all sides in the end… like the fountains in Geneva.

“Thank goodness hunter Johnson was on the watch! Not only that was good news. As it happened the hunter carried around a true painkiller in his pocket. Not one of those small powders but a proper pill. So he decides to rescue her.

Like a crazy maniac Johnson leaps out of his hiding place; and even before she gets a chance to turn her head and look at him, he has already inserted his painkiller deeply from behind. And that makes her feel better…”
