Just because Penns River is an economic backwater doesn't mean it's immune from current events. An active shooter at a local discount department store leaves several people dead and the shooter in the wind. Maybe. It's hard to say as the man arrested at the scene definitely shot someone but claims to be a Good Guy with a Gun. Meanwhile, a Canadian fugitive lands in town and pulls a job to tide him over while his cache of cash makes its way across the border. He and his partner—a local just dumb enough to serve a purpose—see an opportunity and begin a robbery spree while the police focus on clearing the mass shooting.

'Follow your heart,' is the cheesiest piece of advice your mother can give you. But in my case, it was exactly what I needed to hear. I was a young man when I inherited a multi-billion-dollar corporation from my parents. They had died in a horrible accident and I was left to tend to their real estate business. That's all well and good if the real estate had been something other than shopping centers. Because as soon as e-commerce came around, things went downhill.

From childhood, we were attached at the hip. But no man wants to stay in that dreaded friend-zone so it was time for me to 'follow my heart.' I just hope it doesn't ruin the friendship I value so dearly because to lose Lola would be truly to lose everything. Maybe it was time for me to truly be attached to the hip with this girl — if you know what I mean — wink wink, nudge nudge. Views: 146
