But, not with himself-with the world.

Ah, the world. An ungrateful lover, the world is. But, what did he bring to the world, for it to be grateful? That was the question that tormented him, ever since that day in the rain, when the only woman he ever loved, told him the news that brought his life down, like a very unstable house of cards built with rejects from an abandoned Indian casino in the middle of the Oklahoma Panhandle. The news, that even to this day, made him cry like a hungry baby with a soiled diaper in the middle of the night. Yes, those fateful words, uttered by her, without any hesitation, because that was never her style.

What cared she of style? He was going to be a father she told him bluntly and without passion, with a look on her face that made him recoil. A casino in Oklahoma was not the place for such news. Especially since he had just lost $500.00 at the craps table. He left that night and headed for Louisiana and never looked back, until now.

Allow me, JRios1968. "Yes, those fateful words, uttered by her, with a poker face, without any hesitation, because that was never her style."
