You're my boss.
And I went, yeah.
He goes, I need to talk to you like a friend.
I was like, yeah, shoot, shoot, go.
And he goes, you'd be an idiot to leave right now.
He goes, they're coming.
And so he convinced us to stay.

They start shooting, you know, people.
These are monkey eaters and fishermen, the community that we're in.
And everything's quiet, and I opened my laptop, and I was working, just writing, writing my book.
And then it happened.
Then you start hearing people screaming, Moshko, Moshko!
And people are screaming, and women are lifting children and running into the huts, and the dogs and chickens are going nuts.
