James Michael Rice

You think you__e prepared. You think you__e done everything you__e supposed to, study hard, work hard, keep yourself out of trouble, and then__hoosh! Something arrives out of the blue that you never saw coming. Something you never even imagined. Something that__l knock your little world off its axis. Something that__l either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos.

It must be one of life__ little jokes... how we take everything, even life itself, for granted. We waste our childhoods wishing for what we don__ have, longing for the future, dreaming of ways to speed the time so we can hurry up and see the world. And in our later years, we__ give anything just to slow things down and go back to what we once had.

In the end, every person's life is a tough act to follow.

_Late at night, when the hour is none, I dream the dreams of the damned.
