My Saturday haiku – a lead to the Fallen Grace installment tomorrow.
We are safer with a known enemy than an unknown friend.
*Hognose – a snake whose primary defence mechanism is to “play dead”. Called a hognose due to its upturned snout – that gives it a (almost) smile. It is non-poisonous —
— unlike many snakes.
I believe you’ve discerned all the threads that snaked and weaved this one.
You are invited to join Daniel tomorrow when he meets the Smiling One.
