Great One, you nailed it, like a “nail gun”! Do you have “super powers” I ask? I do know the answer to that question. You do! I am grateful you post.
You cast a “shadow” that nobody else has, well, except me, I have that “shadow” as well, but due to complications with “my existence” in former life activities, I must remain in the gray zone.
Keep up the great work you’re doing. Some day our paths may cross, and unlike Clarey, I’ll pay for the dinner. You will know me. I promise not to destroy your hand when we shake hands, it’s a thing I do when I meet people I detest. If they request a hug, I collapse their lungs, CPR to follow. I’m that guy. The asshole that walks through this universe, like he owns it! (Women pull off their clothes when I am with them for just a few minutes, Thank God, I am married to a Nurse, she often has to attend to the wounded that I accidentally hurt).
