I have expanded and complete the 2nd chapter. Look forward to your thoughts. best, Singh.From Chapter 1“But our story is not over. I strain my vision to the end of the path near the taxi rank and see fresh trouble about to fall down upon the concrete.” Chapter 2Trouble is an easy accomplice when you have stepped outside the senses and your body sways toward its downward trajectory like a windjammer toward a reef. Old drunk Ralph, who has not much time or respect for the living or the dead,…See More
