She ran and ran and ran. Her heart felt like it was going to burst through her chest. She stopped for a second to look around her. She wiped her hands and then her tears. She walked over to the little shed. She looked up to the sky […]
I was riding the NYC Subway today and as I walked up the escalator I came across an ad (for a product that I do not remember) that noted “we’ll always get the future wrong.” Lets face it the Jetsons have been wrong. A few years ago, those […]
