Report on Life
Baby Doll "I tried to grab for the baby, but she jerked away. I knew from previous experience that this was going to be a mess." drylongso.com

Fiction
The Roses Are Beautiful, But The Thorns Are So Sharp I've bought corsages for proms. I've bought flowers on mother's day. I've even given my aunt a plant for her anniversary. This is the first time, the first time I've ever bought roses. And they are only "very nice." drylongso.com

Spirit Life
