It was as though the mood hanging in the room was dripping with kerosene and one more misunderstood or…

The word, "Illegal", unedited writing practice, 10 minutes, go!...


This illness is illegal to my plans as far as I'm concerned. If it had any rights they would be read to it and then locked up for…
