Wrong Side of Life

In any city there have always been places where it is bestnot to go. Dark streets where cold wind carries papertrash along the sidewalk like tumbleweed and hostile eyeswatch you pass without seeming to look. Brighter placeswarped by corruption, where darkness lives in the heartand the soul. Ordinary places where ordinary people areswept up in the gale of events and carried away to fatesdarker than they ever imagined. Lock the doors and draw the window curtains. Retreatinto your deepest sanctuary. Take a walk on the wrongside of life.
