Lurking in the shadows
It is a sad human fact that for every minute that some one is trying to make money and just simply survive, there are others trying to steal and forcibly take hard earned money from honest and sometimes unknowing people. The predators lurk, stalk and usually pick out the weakest of the herd before jumping into action. By the time the prey knows that an attack is taking place, it is usually too late. Much too late.

Every day. That is how often I have to deal with my eyesight being as bad as a bat’s.

It just didn’t make sense.
The guy who was in front of me was wearing expensive brand name clothing. His hooded sweatshirt had the logo of a huge rhino and so did his back jeans pocket. Actually, I think his shoes had the same logo too. He looked like he had just stepped out of a music video. I half wondered if there was a Bugatti Veyron parked in the supermarket parking lot.

According to mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and brought it down to earth to benefit mankind. Essentially he brought down a gift that can cook our food, heat our homes, and give us light. Human progress probably would not have been possible without it.
