iTrust-Things That Need to be Said
I get it.
You might not think that I do. But…I GET it. Seriously. It’s not that I play dumb for you. That is not in my nature or my spirit.
You might ask, what is it that I get? You might shrug your shoulders of indifference, because you don’t think that I get it. But, you’d be wrong, and you’re forgetting something. What? That I get IT.

Achilles In Love (excerpt)
Then she came along, who seemed to be all women fused into one, cheekbones and breasts evidence that evolution doesn’t care about fairness, and a mind so good, well, it was like his.
