Thank you, Dee!
What a great intro!
I love Bradbury!
The scar theme reminded me of the lines I wrote back when I was about one month sober:
"...My walls are made of broken glass,
With false reflections of reality;
My soul is scarred with wounds of past,
At least I'm strong in my sobriety.
Congrats on the shotgun, GrantMeSerenity!
