55 Flash Fiction Friday: Two Ships Passing In The Night

    Ti -Indeed there is a lot packed into that word. I'm pretty sure the captain of that ship is aware of it too.

    Alice Audrey -I'll have to post the 55 this is continued from. It was on my old blog.

    Brian -Trusting after being let down is scary. Life is about risk taking. You won't know if you don't try.
