A night of personalities and opinions.

A brood of the self-important.

Family met.

Offers of help.

Signs destroyed.

Warnings of treachery and at the same time invitations.

Others views on many things and the climate.

Suppositions on who I am.

Demands of what I am going to do.

A surrender freely given.'

Surprising reactions from everyone.

Feigned ease displayed.

What did he really do?

Tired of talking.

Outside for air.

Hurt.

Remembrances of warning.
