Here I am at the edge

   An Arab Proverb. In some cases, this is true, as Japan found out when it invaded China . Japan thought that as the Chinese were fighting each other, they would be an easy target - wrong - they may have been fighting each other, but when an outsider attacks, all political issues are put aside for the country's good. This is not always the case; a person I used to know - the same writer I referred to in Author Missing   and I shared a common dislike for another author on one site I was on. This made several writers on the site assume we were friends. Nothing could have been further from the truth as I despised him as much as our familiar foe.

Author goes missing. This was the to be the title of a short story .  The idea of the story was to be about a writer who goes for a walk and realizes he won't be missed and never returns. The story idea originated from a semi-comedic article for an online magazine I was writing for. The article caused a stir; one person thought I was referring to him. If he had read the story, it was aimed at me; another person took it seriously and asked me to stay online. The story was written about a decade ago when I thought people would read something I wrote, if not buy one of my eBook    https://www.draft2digital.com/book/   supply. The last decade has shown me when I stop the blog I will be missed by my friend in Seattle alone.
