Waypoints. #2
Location: ///oiled.rather.shared-35.336365, 149.087252 This is a simple wooden cross, framed either side by a tree trunk. The site is on a long sweeping roundabout. I drive or ride pass by it most days but have never noticed the cross until today. In my minds eye I see a car accident involving the tree. I see…

Location: ///yards.tuned.handle-35.332080, 149.085729 We see them all the time. Those roadside memorial markers left by family and friends to mark the place where a loved one has died.

Do you remain awake for a short time after having your head lopped off?
OK, I don’t even know what to do with this. I came across it looking for something else. And if you are squeamish you might want to move on right about now. But. I know that when you watch a movie, like Game of Thrones or some other horror movie or period piece, and somebody…
