The room was filled with one foot of horse manure. One boy stood by the door and whined for the hour, while the other boy was flying around like the transmani devil. Wouldn’t the second boy bore a hole through the wall of the room, then go on to destroy trees and various items of the landscape before asking a rabbit why he buried him in the cold, cold ground? ---

Until May 16, 2015, I looked and felt 10 years younger than my chronological age. Then I had a spinal “event”, leaving me in chronic pain and disability and depression. It’s incurable, and will continue to get worse until the day I die. And painkillers have no effect. Now I look 10 years older than my chronological age. And I feel even older. 70 is the new 90. ---
