The Coiling Snake of Tension Headache
I am Theseus. How long I’ve been in the Underground I cannot say. Already I have lost my way. The muscles in my back have become like knotted ropes. Sleep eludes me.

Theseus Descending
There must be 101 ways to hurt. All of them are rotten. Some of them change us. Even tiny things can pack a wallop. Consider these five: a hornet sting on the hand; a scratch across the eye; a kidney stone on its journey; a gout flare in the toe; and a burned finger on a child.

The Promise and the Lawsuit, Part Two
Everybody breaks. Some teenagers might never imagine that the laws of entropy and the facts of mortality apply to them. (See “Too Dumb Things,” by TAT!) Similarly, some newlyweds may not know, especially if they are young, that they, themselves, will break. Physically, mentally, or emotionally, their beloved partner will also break.

A huge LIKE for the format for your blog posts. Thumbnails are helpful reminders for the ones I want to reread. And there are many! Your writing about pearls sends my mind in all sorts of directions.

Mostly, I lean towards serious for your future writing about pearls, but am intrigued by the ridiculous and the preposterous. You can make salient points no matter what route you take. Keep it up, please. Karen/SHC-
