All the way he clutched it tight in the palm of his hand and fel the bevelled edge bite into his skin.

Why not share with the world the way it is and tell them my feelings about my cat, and how I played with my kids, and how addicted to Christmas time I am, and the smell of pine needles and hearing my kids laugh. ↗
