What Comes Next

What I’m about to tell you is the truth. Okay, maybe not the whole truth. I don’t know if such an animal exists. But it’s my truth. Swear to God. Names have not been changed to protect the innocent because, by and large, there isn’t one in this story.

Not this time. Not this tale.

If you were to think about it – ponder and pontificate upon it – not one living thing on the face of the planet is truly one-hundred percent innocent. We all do what we have to in order to get by. Survival of the fittest and all that.

I’d like to say that I was an innocent bystander in the whole sorry mess, but I know better. I made my choices. See, I believe in karma, dogma, mahatma… all that stuff. I know that what goes around comes around. But at the moment things are spinning and going like a merry-go-round with a 565 horse power engine. So I’m hoping that by purging my soul of the deeds of the past, I can get off this crazy thing.

Anyway, I’m leaving the point… Being that I got a story to tell and all.
