    Do not feel sad..feel glad that you are human! I hear this though.

  • There's this thing called the Macdonald Triad which consists of the 3 traits that all serial killers have, which are, bedwetting past the age of five, obsession with fire setting and animal cruelty. You've displayed animal cruelty in your story. You did recently write a poem about burning things to ashes. And now this. You're a serial killer, aren't you? 🤣🤣🤣

    Oh pal, this one is deeply emotional. I don’t know if I’m reading it through the right lens, but I feel many layers of pain in these few words. 💫💞💫

    LOL. Not what I was expecting, and I nearly choked on my coffee! Honestly idk what I was expecting (perhaps pointing out the lack of chivalry from other men these days). I should've known from your past stories not to let my guard down, as they always come with an unexpected twist <3. Love it! Needed the laugh😆
