Some red splotches, some red shoes…go figure.

But this story doesn’t end with murderous dreams. It switches to separate events and a confluence.

Thankfully there are exceptions.

    Those faces of the condemned are priceless. Every one of them is whispering through gritted teeth and squinted eyes: “While you sleep, Saunders…”

    p.s. how exactly do you say good luck in Swahili, again? Was it “tuberculazi hopeni dun getya”?

    loved the story of the red shoes, especially the “thumbs up”by Peter. Praying for all……across the miles.

    Excellent! Those shoes should be bronzed once they are retired.

    Dear Bob,

    If I’m a story teller I learned it from you, with a little Uncle Jim thrown in for good measure. And some tales here darn nea tell themselves.

    Lots of love to you and Patti,

    David

    It’s a good thing the potential conspirators have a healthy fear Cerberus who watches over me as I sleep.

    The “good luck” in Kiswahili sounded a lot like “don’t take any calls from the mzungu’s doctor.”

    Hacking away,

    David

    You know what I like, Dave. The fact that those Chuck Taylors Peter is wearing are exactly the same as the ones (minus the red color) we wore when we were going undefeated in CYO ball in the 7th grade at St Gertrude’s. Now that’s staying power.

    Your point guard.
