The Face Of Betrayal.

If I hadn’t gone out on that fateful Sunday afternoon

If I hadn’t seen you on the road, stranded and asking for directions

It was New York. It was July. It was 2008.

My arm had just come out of a cast but it was still sore as hell. I told them not to worry about me; I could take care of myself.

I was all alone. [...]

Of Love, Irony & The Last Laugh (IIIa of IV)

Jeta stared at the woman in the car in complete shock. He could not believe what he was seeing. One minute, he was screaming at his wife who brazenly skipped the night at their home because she thought he wasn’t due back in town [...]

When...

…when in spite of your knack for stringing words together, you can’t even craft your own pain… …when there’s no synonym for an aching heart and every dot lined up don’t tell it all… [...]

This Life sha! (1 of 2)

It is a cold Wednesday afternoon. The rain never seems to end here in Lancaster. Tiny little unending drops that just have a way of messing up your entire plans. Oh well! I would just stay home again today and feast on McVitie’s Ginger [...]
