Later than last week, but them’s the breaks. Thanks to Rochelle for keeping winter wintery and fictionary (a book you look in to discover items relating to fiction) Susan Eames; thanks for the shot, I’m hoping your ankle is better, if it is indeed your ankle and not an imposter.

His “mates” stood up and kicked his fucking head in.
Twats.

Shalom,

Sad story with the ring of truth. He tried to share part of his true feelings with his “friends” and look what it got him 😦
