Charmaine… Not realizing his accelerating speed, he pressed the brakes hard on a poorly banked curve. A screeching slide ended in front of a house with a smoking chimney. The narrowly avoided calamity reset his thinking. A good and purposeful life is waiting by a fire … so knowing, but so unaware. As he turned into the old country store’s lot, he cringed at the gravel crunching louder and louder under the Volkswagen’s tires, announcing his first secret contact to Level Nine’s Home Base from the designated booth.
