Roy Hallums’ book “Buried Alive” is pure writing genius. It is like listening to a radio live report from the scene of the kidnapping incident. It is so vivid that every paragraph can even become a short story. From the day he was kidnapped to the day he was rescued and reunited with his family, Hallums is a born storyteller with a gift of clarity.

I asked Entrecard this: How can I convert my credits into cash? If non-convertible, how will these credits be used?

The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where t he sign reads:

Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids

“That’s nice”, she thinks, “but I want more.” So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
