FOUNDATIONS
How could he have known that as a drugged up satanic metalhead, killing and burying a cat in a building site one night so long ago with friends he’s since lost track of, that now, after 13 years as a financial advisor, to give his kids more room, he would be buying the house that stood on its grave.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN
I gave a ride to a hitchhiker today. I’ve seen him around. He hauls these trailers painted on every side with his mission statement: “Follow Your Heart”. He's a black guy who “woke up” after Katrina, has dedicated himself to bringing supplies to New Orleaners. I'm gonna donate my Christmas money.

THE LAST CIGARETTE
As he finally caught a first dim glimpse of the cave's fabled wonders, Roger thought he'd earned a smoke for his travails. As he greedily put a cigarette to his lips, he tried to recall Evans' warning about the place. Too late, he realized it might have had something to do with matches.
