Attack Of The Killer Cosmetics Saleslady
THE STORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS TRUE. ONLY THE NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE OVER-ZEALOUS. This is the big box store. Sam's Wholesale Club. I shop here. I carry a membership card. My name is Dad. NukeDad. It was a warm spring morning in the Carolinas. The kind of morning that makes you wish you'd stayed in →
