LOL, you like how I used Wrangler jeans there? I happened to have on a pair as I wrote those lines. How ironic huh.
Thanks Fia. I hope NY is treating you well!

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. -

Amazing writing, dear Styxian. So authentic and pure! Scars are a sign that life has been lived. And I think that prayers never remain unanswered. But often we realize not before many times has passed, in which way the answer has manifested in our lives.

The funny thing is, (well, not funny exactly!), is I have had so many misfortunes over the years. I used to look at it as bad luck. Yet then, perhaps the fact that I have got this far in pretty decent shape overall, it’s always been secretly good luck to make it through.
And hey, it’s good to see you around again! Good writers like you should be more frequent!

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

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