6 years later he calls me out of nowhere and says he is in the Philippines, has run out of options and has only about $3k pounds to his name. This is 2 weeks ago.

During the meeting with the older English fella who made claim to being an ex-army ranger for the British military among other things (everyone...

[Part Six] The ex has no money and lives in another country, he will need to pay for her, and of course Michael (the ghost who lives in her mouth) to move to here. She has quit her job and is on a bus to the border. This is very exciting for my friend. However, there is an unfortunate reality about...
