Wet Feet…

Unbeliever
What makes a villain? Necessity, of course. Money doesn’t grow on trees, nor does medication for a sick child. Counseling vanishes when you lose everything, and your wife leaves with the last boy child. Bitter? Am I bitter? Of course not. A bitter man would seek revenge—on doctors, insurance adjusters, the makers of the foam insulation that gave my daughter cancer, or maybe even on God.
