"Shut up! Shut your mouth!"

"I just --"

"Listen, I'm warning you. Don't push me. I'm sick of it."

"Each time I try --"

"No more crap from you! Keep it to yourself. You have nothing to say. Nothing."

"Can't I even --"

"Every time you open your mouth, I'm going to shut it for you. You hear? I said, do you hear?"

About the Creator

Sonia Heidi Unruh

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.
