Everything was OK at first.
When I pulled up to the curb, the small group ahead of me appeared to be dropping someone off at the airport – just like I was. But then it happened. First one… then the other… crumpled before me.… —-> Continue…
If there were an evil force in this world,
it’s best line of attack wouldn’t be a
full frontal assault, but rather a series

self sabotage, and most of all – fear.… —-> Continue…
I get it.
It was early afternoon.
Broad daylight. A lot of traffic.

Have I told you lately…
Wait a minute.
It doesn’t matter if I have;

their death warrant.
