On the way there, I drove past a stunning view so I pulled into a serendipitous carpark…

Ended (Dark Side Thursday)
For Andy Townend’s Dark Side Thursday. Andy has provided an outlet for our dark sides. I wrote this a few weeks ago (on a plane, of course!) but I thought it was too dark to share. I haven’t ever written anything like it. I would usually put this summary at the bottom of my post…
