I tried.
SWMBO, may I go to Telford, PA to a very small model show? All my BTS friends are going. It's in PA. Not too far away. Only 7 hours and 23 minutes says Google maps.
She squinted at me suspiciously, severely. Beads of sweat just breaking on the surface of my head Just a minute she said.
I stared at my feet hoping for the best.
She spun the computer chair 180 degrees.
I stared over her shoulder.

This is not good.
Many hits came up.

A sudden movement. Pain. Blackness. Timeless void.
A wet feeling of the dog licking my face which is pressed against the hardwood floor.
A note tucked in the dogs collar.
"nice try. Cooler. 30 days"
