Waiting For the Sun to Rise

On October 3, 2022October 13, 2022 By Allison McCormickIn Uncategorized1 Comment

Photo by A. Spratt (Unsplash) I woke at 1:30 AM. Fully alert and rehashing the events from the previous day. I was angry at the insensitivity of humanity, agitated by people's lack of integrity.
