“I rape and f**king kill you.” “You can come inside my apartment.” Latter said by bombshell, former: bullying drill sergeant.

Both statements surprised their listener, they were eating up his brain, they required ad-lib answers, zombies-nearing-target/prey(um?!) .  {Straight A’s changed to fangs (from a snout/chainsaw-mouth)}

Wandering Santa Cruz

(sweeter than sandwiched truce) , elementally fresh (while waving ocean-meets-land) boost. Cool how nature can help put things in perspective. (It’s more than this or that, beyond “accepted” or “rejected”.)
