I guess so, David, but I am sure his Mother loves him, and would have been
broken hearted.
I guess, also that the Driver went back thinking of the mess he was going to
find, and was much relieved to find a live and undamaged Drunk. Perhaps the
guy was running so hard, because he saw murder in this Drivers Eyes! We are
funny people, us humans, what other animal could be happy to find someone
undamaged, and immediatly decide to damage him for putting us through so
much trauma.
or that is how I foiund myself thinking on more than one occasion. My trauma
