The elephant in the room. That’s what it has become. It’s here, obvious, but has been with me so long I usually never notice it any more. Inconvenient, sure. I seem to have gotten used to it.

Feels Like Sanctuary
Summer time. ‘This is my time of the year.’ Thought Zack. ‘I can wear what I like. cut off Shorts from old blue jeans, tank tops, and my favorite sneakers. Grungy, dirty, stinky, and nobody cares how they look. I can do what I want.’ “Ted!” Zack shouted as he saw his friend round the… Continue reading Feels Like Sanctuary
