The main road of the quiet country town veered through wooded acres of land leading its travelers further and further from what most would consider modern convenience. Passersby drove the numerous hills leading them into what was known as the "Hilltowns", and located about half way up the second to last hill, twas a long... Continue Reading →
So long to the longing….
The light rises from Green to yellow. I am to yield or proceed with caution as I approach the busy intersection. I am too far away though to logically make it through.

She held a bomb in her hands, one planned for me. The kind from the cartoons that is round and black and literally has the word "Bomb" written on the sides in white lettering.
