Furtively Speaking

You are likely to see them anywhere. They blend in with the rest of the population pretty well and, at first glance, appear quite normal and yet–and yet, they are identifiable if you know what to look for. You might detect a curious gleam in the eyes, or a slight twitching of the ears, as […]
