Beware of Author

by jonathan-tindal

Typing these words didn't make them true. Just because they're on your screen does not, can not, ever mean that you should always keep on reading, running headlong, heedless heeding. Words may be harmful, a poison brew. Know the truth that many miss Violence isn't always fists. Ideas kill with subtler power. Not at once but hour by hour. I gave fair warning, my gift to you. Gentle reader, now that you're mine, Faithfully following to this line, didn't your mother teach you well: don't fall under a killer's spell?
