    You have everything needed! The Gold is yours, my friend; and I will be proud to share the story of how we met with everyone I know. They will ask me if you are as much fun as you appear to be, and I will regale them with tales of margarita and guacamole parties and us playing Rock Band in our socks...

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
