Empty Sleeve

warm smiles

              hand extended in friendship....


     shaking an empty sleeve

Wow! Great entry for the deception contest, Daniel. Very clever -- shaking an empty sleeve from one who falsly extends a hand in friendship. Best wishes for success in Chris's contest! Love, Carolyn
