Winter Season
The Past Oscar just watched her. She had started swirling her water in the glass. He quickly changed the subject and more laughing ensued.

Eatin’ Crow 🐦⬛
Why do others take such delight – get such joy, to the point of spite – from someone admitting they made a mistake? They delight in the shake. ~ Revel in the quake. Dance in the wake. All mistakes are correctable. Unless someone is undetectable. ~ You might not like the outcome. It will beContinue reading “Eatin’ Crow 🐦⬛”

The Masks We Wear
