prison break – The Jump

https://writerjax.net/tag/prison-break

A writerjax digression since 2004. June 8, 2015. June 8, 2015. For those unaware, there’s been a prison break in upstate New York. And two convicts are on the loose.

In a metal pipe without detection. I.e., somebody’s in trouble. Don’t come to the Berkshires, though, pals … we have bears. And tourists. shudder. Song Lyric of the Day.
