They walked out the barn’s back door and around to the propane tank farm. In addition to the three storage tanks, two Freightliner propane trucks we...e parked side-by-side. The larger version was clearly used to supply the tank farm, and the smaller was the delivery truck to fill local customers’ tanks. At the rear of the larger tanker was a body. Apparently, a delivery was about to be made when the driver died. The rear compartment was open, but no hoses had been connected.Mishka decided that.

I kiss those lips of yours and stare into your green eyes. Like polished pools of jade. You lock onto mine and quiver with the intensity you see in them, the passion I have.
