Such a reality makes a... Full story

After they are to their cars safely, he comes to our bar and does the same for us. He has never been paid and only asks for a diet soda in return. This is done purely and unselfishly, out of love and friendship and...

Not only do helicopters fly over, but munitions are exploded that rattle our windows, shake the ground, and startle our ani...
