"Someone knew about the service station. What you had stored there." Under Sartre's narrowing gaze Atwell continued, "They informed the police. The Flic were going to #raid it and I only found out minutes before. I didn't have time to find you so I had the place torched. #WIPSnips #booksky #skywrite

My comment got a laugh out of Mitnick, rich and filled with appreciation. Hearing it made the #lizard part of my brain feel good, like a well-trained animal receiving praise. I realized then how Mitnick kept his men in line. They might actually love the bastard. #WIPSnips #skywrite #booksky

To #reckon with the truth is to look into one's own soul, to take a fearless inventory of one's life. The good, the harm done, all of it. Most only take an inventory of what they've acquired, which is how we find ourselves here, with the end on the horizon, burning like a comet. #vss365 #skywrite
