Across the street two women wearing long skirts and carrying satchels knock but the girl doesn’t answer. Then she does and they all go inside.  Another woman wearing a long skirt and carrying a satchel waits outside and sprays herself with cologne.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.
