Ladies & Gentlemen, another little anecdote for your consumption.

Be careful what you promise

The phone tumbled from his cold lifeless hand, his mind seared of all coherent thought as he tried to assess the shocking revelations he’d just been given …… Excuses, he desperately needed excuses, or at least some reason to be as far away as possible this coming weekend but he’d promised hadn’t he?

And that promise was now coming back to haunt and taunt him! A foolish promise, made to placate and ease his hardship and guilt now required redeeming, time to pay the piper it seems, and the Mother in law, well, she’d be going home on the Monday.

Once again, I Thangyu
