It was a very weird time. I was working retail at the time too. Felt like an apocalypse. I thought it was so laughable when they were calling workers like me heros. Yeah, you might die but thanks for the Oreos haha.

Interesting theory. It is all empires fall. They have to be built up to crumble. Nice

Cleverly penned, Thomas. I remember a stray cat when I was a teenager, many summers ago. Saw him catch a bird right out of the air. He would only let us pet him on the back porch, once off the porch he wouldn’t let you near him. We also fed him tuna, he was a great hunter as well. I had a stray female later on in life that helped me kill a snake. She was friendlier than the male. She would bring us gifts, dead mouse, dead bird, dead mole, she wanted to take care of her family, which was us in her eyes. I also owned three indoor cats, they’re truly fascinating animals. Sorry for the rant, my friend. My cats passed a few years back, so any story about cats hits my heartstrings. This was an incredible write. Appreciate you.

Damian

Very cool. I have 3 female indoor cats. Shadow, Nukowski and Mojo. Love them. Thank you, my friend.

This is beautiful Nick

It’s about my wife and her dealing with bullying when she was younger. I dealt with it too, but she got it bad. Had some lasting effects. We all need that person that are with us no matter how flawed we can be. She is that for me and I am for her.

Thanks for the read, friend.
