You basked in the surf of faraway lovers, dipping fingers in legend and serenading diaphanous morality, inviting imagination to meet heart. Ideas surrounded that crooked […]

He stopped and looked back at the place called home for the past few years and he wanted to toss a rock through its lonely living room window. Instead […]
