Don't Tread on Me

I usually delete alot of stories I put on here, mostly for one of two reasons: 1. because it was an incomplete thought, and needed to be thought through more before being published to the world.
2. because I thought it was too whiny, boring, or vague.

not this time. I am going to promise one thing to myself and others about this collection; nothing will be deleted. Once I hit the publish button, there is no going back.
