Right across to the next street where I live, a man killed his wife and then himself with 3 little kids left watching and then alone. Didn't even know about it until I went to work that day.

The moral of the story; MYOB or by you're curious folly (didnt curiousity kill the cat?) turn to a cold stone lawn ornament by one of the Gordon aka Gorgon sisters. (how to make "d" and "g" like "ae"; "dg" od "gd"?). Excellent suspense-filled buildup. Love your use of the colloquial; very realistic not stereo-typical which makes the character's (GREAT characters) speech so awesomely freaky-zoidish! Excellent!chiccorealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902834462795623856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-89819136566016133892010-06-07T23:45:33.137-04:002010-06-07T23:45:33.137-04:00Chilling.
