Jeremy stepped inside. In his ear he heard, “Stay near the door. Don’t respond to anything they say.”
“Look. That guy’s back.”
“OK, let’s finish this. You’re going to get what’s coming to you. You hear me? No one will care how loud you scream in this place.”
The five men stepped out of the safety of the shadows moving toward Jeremy. When they were visible in the middle of the room, shots shattered the windows.
Jeremy heard a gunfight outside. His earphone went silent. He wondered what happened. Was it safe to leave?
He left the room anyway.

Women Win As

More Than Compete
However
Digital
Life is Changing
This Balance Required
For Species Thriving
Significantly
Easy to
See in
The Suicide

Females in the
Newest Generations…
Now We MUST Wear Masks
To Save Our Health
But to suggest
There is no
Harm to
Human Health
By Top Health
Officials By
Humans Losing
Face to Face
Communication
That 412 Mapped
Emotional Expressions
We Humans Experience
Face to Face
For Emotional
Health is Short
Sighted at
Least as
Humans are
Evolved to Communicate
By Dancing Facial
Expressions
Most
For
Soul Health
As that relates
To really living
At All but True
There is imagination
And Colors of Words
In Metaphor too
The origin
Of much
Of Poetry
Comes From
Humans Who
Have lost
The
Face
Of Their
Souls as i
Surely Did for
66 Months of
Numb Soul Face
Pain Birthing
All
The

Of these Words…
i expect Art Will
Thrive in the

To
Replace
Human Soul Faces
Perhaps someone
Else will even
Dance
In Public
If this New Mask
World lasts long
