Not a Very Good Time By Joe S. Thomas
*** More of my good friend and the evil bastard insomnia visiting me tonight after hearing the morons I have to live among wrenching doors open and digging through the kitchen like 400 pound cockroaches at 2 A.M… And people wonder why I hate, why I’m suicidal… Do you really have to think that hard… Continue reading
