It starts innocently enough, a casual debate about nothing in particular.
You say something witty, a clever remark that you're certain will be the coup de grace.
But then they counter with a devastating blow, a single, well-crafted sentence that reduces your entire argument to rubble.
You try to retort, but it's too late. The damage is done. You're left standing alone, your words reduced to a mere whisper.
And so you slink away, defeated, wondering how things got so far gone.
Perhaps you should have brought an umbrella.
