  1. Yes, walk on by. What do they say about resentments -- drinking poison and wishing someone else would die. Nice to be divested of that, eh? - Brendan

  7. I so know the feeling of walking bemusedly past someone who is in a storm of self-created angst, feeling like a calm pebble alongside a tornado. Good one, Ollie!Fantastic response to the prompt!

  9. Like your take on the prompt. Real people can be so much more interesting and entertaining than the ones we pay money to see.
