I wrote this post last year... 5 years ago, today, I was presented with a Sliding Door moment...a fork in the road...I could go right or I could go... wrong...I picked wrong and walked straight into Hell...and then...kept walking around in the darkness...with my eyes closed... hitting into the walls.
