Shelley was #absent the day of the announcement. She and her mother were drinking and working through some stuff. She thought the building felt awfully quiet. Not a soul in the halls. What the hell? she said, her small voice echoing back to her. At the door to the office, she sighed. Some joker had locked her out. Not in the mood for shenanigans after the session with her neurotic mother, she decided to head for the break room. That door was open. A dachshund sat on the table.
sad cloak of darkness
mourning the bright sun's absence
Last glimpse of color!

Rogers was absent from roll call. When I asked about him, Mercer looked at me strangely. “Maybe he transferred out.” Then, quieter: “Rogers was a glitch. He never existed. Don’t mention him again. We can’t let on that we know we’re in a simulation. They’ll kill us, Cap. Don't you remember?”

"A 2013 University of San Diego study found that nearly half of all gun stores in the #USA would go out of business were it not for the sales boost provided by the carnage in #Mexico."

"Every year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) releases a report touting its seizures of narcotics and currency, but conspicuously #absent from the reports are statistics on #firearms."
