If you knew a secret would you tell it? Would you say the words knowing that someone would get hurt? Would you take the joy from someone knowing what you know? Could you speak the secret that would cause them to lose it? That's what I faced.

I sat looking, out the window of my tiny room, up at the stars i...

Driving home from work that day, was the same as it had been for the past 10 years. There was tons of traffic. I cursed at the driver who cut me off, and tried not to be pinned against the guardrail as someone tried to merge with me in his or her blind spot. The same monotonous tunes played on the radio.
