That is so true time is a trap it does not go back

Ohh there is so much in this piece. What got me it I wore the ancestors of these jeans…Damn what a line.

Fine, it’s a tie. LOL.
We’re pretty good at mutual stuff…

Hello Damian.
Yeah, why not a praying mantis. I think they are cool as hell actually. Ever since I saw my first one as a kid, as it was eating a caterpillar like a piece of corn on the cob, I’ve been amazed by them. Little green demons, lol.
Thank you much, too, for the nod.

Dude, I have a lot of scars! And several tatts, ahem. -Been quite the life. Nowadays all is mostly mellow and I am thankful for it!
And you can jack my title. When I thought of it a couple of weeks ago, I told Del that I gotta use it somewhere! This write is the result.
Thank you much, Peter.

congrats Thomas on your book

Well designed write about a situation that we all can relate to. The anguish is well described here. We feel it.
Well done, Thomas.

Powerfully penned, Thomas. Another excellent write with incredible storytelling my friend. Congrats, on the book. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Damian

Powerful. Vivid and sharp.

Clever along with the confusion of “knowing” how things will go. This is short but sharp as hell.

This reads like playing chess.
Or even tennis.
Well done!

Powerfully penned, Sam. Excellent write with a little back and forth going on my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Damian
