What happens after we die? It’s an unanswered question of life, and that’s because no one has told us yet. All those who parted from us in death never returned from their graves to explain to us exactly what to expect when we leave this Earth. The one who came closest to telling us what
Cathy and Zach fell asleep on the couch – they had exhausted themselves with strategies on how to talk Dale out of taking the money from Cathy and also making sure Dale does not kill them both out of his jealousy and hatred. Zach could not bring himself to think how a man who cared
