Solitaire

At the end of the day, no matter whether the world seems to be coming down on me, or whether great fortune springs eternal, I can always count on friends to bring me through. Whether it's the friends who are...

Poundings, Walkies, Elvi gets hers

"He's going to feel the wrath," Josh spouted, lip cut, and knuckle scraped, "of Italia." He was drunk. I was in a bad mood. And I just wanted to be alone. Today would be a day of poundings for all...
