Shut In I see that the tourists all left for home hours ago. Overhead, the stars rise above the trees and sink below the trees, and I see that we are surrounded by the trees. Around every corner, so I'm told, lurks a copperhead ready to strike, and in the distance, I hear a pair of banjos, each tuning to the other. They assure me that our ride will arrive any minute, but the hours of waiting and the trees (everywhere, the trees) tell me otherwise. in heaven, everything is fine |

I can picture it... I feel anxious, like I should be content but I'm not. Well done. Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

Some raccoon in an overhead tree told me you were playing music beneath him...  This is a pretty darned good metaphor, Ryan - It epitomizes life's conundrums... Nice to see you here... Oh - and watch out for stray green bears - they come PiPping out of the woods when you least expect them...  |
