\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not The Way Of Nature<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We were going down a narrow path.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHands up, or I\u2019ll blow away your ass!!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

We were mugged on a mountain trail.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIs nowhere safe!,\u201d my partner wailed.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The man had his face covered up.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His hand was steady, sure enough.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The pistol he used looked big to us.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Fast and efficient, without any fuss.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This man has probably done this before.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

From the non-descript clothes he wore.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was average height and weight.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A Caucasian, make no mistake.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t know him if I saw him again. <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Except for one little thing, my friend.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In my wallet was an explosive ink pack.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s on his hands now. I\u2019m sure of that.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I only had it for demonstration purposes.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I sell them,—– but the worst is<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It won\u2019t wash off. He\u2019ll be marked for a month.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This could help lawmen get the jump.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He is probably wearing gloves in the summer.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Very suspicious and a real bummer.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Hopefully, they will nail his hide.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Not right to rob people when outside.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Not right to rob people at all.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Time for him to take a fall.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Then my nature walks will go my way.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I can hardly wait till that day.-<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
