the devil made him do it
lotto, corruption and yellow lights.

plaster up the hole in the wall
brutal mass murder in pleasant hills.

the rise and fall and rise and fall of dramarama
a song and its effect on the life of john easdale.

the metronome
getting stuck in carlisle, pennsylvania, and keeping up with home.

achieving triathlon
i have never run a triathlon.
