    My ex-boyfriend’s eyes were always his tell. He was a 6’ tall, 250 pound hulk of a wrestler who always stuffed his feelings down underneath years of abuse. He had the shell of a rhino, but if you could get close enough, there was no armor to shield his eyes.

The somber procession slowly made their way towards a waiting C-130. Beyond all doubt, it was the gloomiest event imaginable. I couldn’t see for the tears in my eyes as I walked immediately behind the coffin. We passed a long

    In almost every book, movie, or tall tale there is a protagonist who has to get back at the antagonist.
