There she was, flying along in the near-dark of the shaded twilight trail, minding her own business, when, out of nowhere, something grabbed her, then blasted her through the air just as rapidly and unexpectedly. She responded valiantly, reflexively, with a defensive sting, her last act in life. It was all over. Just before. There […]

I’m not extraordinary, but I had incentive. If you’re so inclined, you can start running too! Other than one season […]
