I loathe the undead…
So I leave the house this morning to go physical therapy at around 7:45. The streets were empty and the entire city had a nice, relaxed vibe. All this changed rather quickly. After spending a half hour stretching on a bouncy ball I exited the building and it looked like the world was going to [...]
