The Guardians… A golden envelope was tucked into his jacket breast pocket. He memorized the missive and now sat among the lunch crowd on a busy, and familiar street. Minkin Bercu knew the area well, having worked this territory as a senior guardian before his recent promotion. The last time Bercu was on Market Street, … Continue reading Roll reversal

Morning rush

cinnamon roll and coffee
September 8, 2014January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments
