Well now. This is a rarity. —Not my waking up at stupid o’clock and not being able to go back to sleep.— But to surely find myself on the first row of the “Hollywood Squares” as our buddy Russell calls them… As always, thank you to Rochelle for hosting this crazy bunch!
I’m sorry to do this to you. I had to “go there”. I won’t bother pretending this piece is not wholly true so I’ve kept all names real. I cannot believe my life changed so drastically three years ago this coming December 11th. And when I saw my own picture as the prompt, I just dunno what happened.

“What do you mean he collapsed?” Fear gripped her heart, sending shards of ice throughout her veins.
“I dunno. They called me. They are checking him now. Tony’s with him and they have questions for you. I’m on my way and will meet you there.”

Her own heart sank, somehow she just knew.
