thanks dad
” Thanks Dad for believing in me, in my abilities when no one else did, when all I had was the encounter with envious stares.

who is at the door?
Alarm’s screech reached a deafening crescendo. After hitting the snooze button I drew the blanket over my head. Wasting my precious life just for a lark? Hell NO!
