He slipped into the room, invisible yet again. No one knew him. No one saw him. No one cared. He smiled briefly, allowing himself the modicum of joy. His anonymity served him well.

Nigel was beside himself as he watched CNN. A teabag on a hatbrim had been the secret sign of being an expat, but now these rubess had taken it, like metrosexuals with left earring

Anthropologists have found evidence which proves ancient cultures used such bizarre materials as tree bark, paper and cloth as preventative measures against

Jim walked to the end of the block and turned into the alley. He knew she was following him. He wanted her to. She'd been watching him for days. He went for his gun but she was
