The House at Pooh Corner

“A paranoid is someone who knows little of what’s going on” (William S. Burroughs). This quote by William S.

Emotion “Hey David, it 's me. Are you still coming over tonight to spend the night with me?” my friend Kevin asked. I glanced anxiously at my mother who had heard the call, and I reassured my answer with her. “Yes, I should be there around 7:00.” I ran upstairs to my room to finish packing for the night.
