The End of Civilization as We Know It
Question is, how many carpets did you see flying in close formation?
Question is, which hand would you use

When I came back home, after coming down with polio, everything had changed for me. I'd been gone for forty-five long days and nights. But it was Halloween, a time very nearly sacred for children in the Midwest, and it brought out the charity of the who
