• Walking

    I walked all night and that’s a bit exhausting. Hard to say if it works. I do know that I’m not aware of astral projecting despite my best efforts to leave my body. When I was a little girl, I often unwittingly did it. I would float down the wooden stairs at 3369 Beaumont in Ann Read more

  • Roses on the doorstep

    Jet rolls the cigarette between his middle finger and thumb like he did nasal waste when he was young.

    Geez, that was horrible writing. I mean, I know tons about shooting guns and how it feels and how far back a 44 Magnum kicks you after you pull the trigger (no, morons, it is no longer the most powerful handgun in the world) as opposed to a typical shotgun. My real bro, Dan, runs Read more
