Standard Disclaimer. I'm shaking a finger at myself, (no, not that one) and saying, "Bad silvina, bad. Ray should be happy. Sap. Go write sap. Sap is good." But Ray seems to be unhappy lately and he's making my muse cry. Please send comments, questions, compliments, and otters to sdelcul@mail.com or visit http://www.members.xoom.com/dueSou.

A split-second snapshot of Ray after he knocks on the door during Victoria's Secret.

Never Again

You forgot again. DAMN. Wait. Breathe. In. Out. Go. React later. Just get away. Turn around. Walk away. Get in the car. You can react when you're alone. You'll be fine.

Don't depend on people. Just remember you're on your own. It doesn't matter. You're OK, you just forgot. It slipped your mind.

Don't trust people. You'll only get hurt. Take care of yourself. You'll be fine. Don't let your guard down.

You let him in too close. Worry about that later. In. Out. You'll remember next time. There won't be a next time.

Green light. Why aren't you driving?
