Superstition
A question from the lovely https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ is about superstitions.

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ John peered up into the tree, his stomach lurching into a tsunami of last night’s curry. His mate had tears running down his face. Although he could always handle his drink way better. That last beer, or shot; truth was his memory of the night was a little bit hazy. He didn’tContinue reading “Boy’s Night Out”
