Spraying venomous words that burn like acid against the skin, hitting denial and ignorance. Everyone’s dying. I’m armed. I’ve been silent for too long. It’s time t...

… without the Internet?

… without Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter?

Or what would you do if your dream life were just a “Yes!” away?

I mean really, think about it…

When was the last time you actually used the phone book?
