Flee
Flee: to run away from a place or situation of danger; to run away from (someone or something). When I think of fleeing something or someone the scene that is immediately brought to mind is this: Feet pounding on the pavement, harsh, ragged breathing. The painfully sharp twinge in my left ankle that happens whenever I…

If you are disappointed, I am sorry, I promise I will eventually get around to talking about an adventure or two in the Brooklyn area, but for now – Williamsburg, VA.

Wintry
He has on dark brown corduroy pants and a tan jacket with a high popped collar with metal buckles that remind me of hot topic coats and straight jackets. He has on tinted glasses, almost too light to be considered sunglasses, leather straps with buckets at the cuffs and collar, all of them done up…
