2 signs were hung above the entrance:
The first one read, All Men Must Die
The second read, Prepare To Meet Your Maker.
It was a distant time, before cars and sensitivities had taken over the world.
I am however beginning to understand why many of the old timers refused to go to the hospital.

I’m watching her go through this anxiety of being tested: I had exams nightmares for decades after the last one was completed. This can not be isolated to just us, can it?
I tell her how little really rides on the success or lack thereof in the whole scheme of things… relax! I’ll still love you.
I really don’t care about marks on tests. I think it’s probably more important to learn how to navigate the problems of humans and their peculiarities.
Another day, sundown.
Another night, sundown.
Orange to black, sundown.
Fades to midnight blue.
There’s nothing I can’t do.
And here comes the night
And I don’t know why
I hear your voice
And I lose my way.
Where are you now?
Can I touch you somehow?
You’re somewhere near sleep where images fade.
And here comes the sun.
Another night is done.
Here comes the sun.
And here I go again.
Saw the man, shot down.
Heard his voice, shot down . Eyes rolled white, shot down. Breathe goodbye that sound. Fades to midnight blue. There’s nothing I can do.
Another day shot down.
Another night shot down.
Orange to black.
Shot down.
Fades to midnight blue.
There’s nothing I can do.

Having thoughts lots about dying.
And other things that I don’t know.
Its not the fear that’s got me down.
Just that I don’t want to go.
Now sure I know I have no choice.
Has been made abundant and clear.
This transformation is all the rage.
I just kinda like it here.
I hear all this complaining.
What’s wrong about this and that.
You never really stood a chance.
With an attitude like that.
I recognized my nature.
Not much was steeped in good.
There was this strange sensation.
Like maybe I just should.
Forget it all and start a new.
Take the narrow view to wide.
Take my head out from my ass.
And maybe look outside.
Not all is gain or glory.
Not all is pain and strife.
The road the path the choices made.
It’s a wild ride this life.
Having passed my previous years high for views on September 14th, I thought about shutting this down for the rest of the year, but really, who am I trying to kid?
I just submitted my final edit for my debut novel called ‘LOOK THEM IN THE EYES.’ This has been decades in the making, and I am so grateful to be finished because I can not begin my second novel until this one is finished.
The second novel is outlined and goes by the title of THE CHANCES STORE.
Thanks to anyone who reads this blog and to WordPress for having this wonderful platform for me to be addicted to…
