"Oh your gonna miss me, baby. And I'll be

  • "Oh your gonna miss me, baby. And I'll be so far away"
  • "No you won't, you're going out to the bar to hang out with that B.B. King." She slammed the screen back door in my face. What can I say, I'm a blues man.
  • It looked like it was going to be a long night. She'd locked the screen door, so I was trapped on the veranda. With a sigh I switched on the radio and began to string my hammock
  • for a semblance of sleep. The veranda did its magic and I woke up with the sun in my face. The screen door was no longer locked and she was gone. There was a note from Karen. She
  • , in her beautiful script, had written: "To whomever it may concern: Take a step forward, and then turn to your right, and do as it says." I chuckled; Karen had always had her ways
  • Doing as prescribed, I met with a slowly elevating treasure. It made a light show of its contents but seemed neither here nor there, like a refraction. Stepping forward revealed..
  • that it was only one of those optical illusion, pennies-in-a-cup tricks. I glowered at the proprietor for amking a fool of me. He smirked and stepped back into the shadows. A pale

  • be pretty bad, as bad as a school/ work day.
  • It seems to never end. I hate it when I wake up and realize it was a dream and the alarm is going off and I have to go to work. Wait am I awake or asleep not knowing I try to wake.
