Blog postby William Kotzwinkle Idle one evening and dully curious, I chanced to turn over a painting that hung on the wall of my rooming house. Wrapped around the wire was a little scroll of paper. I opened it and read: Now that you’ve met me Can you forget me? I offer you a chance. In [...]6 years ago Read more
