Old Soul

Thrown Stone
Thrown stone Cast it. Hum it. Text it. Tag it. Blog it. Bash it! It’s all the same. Stones have new meaning in the world we live in today, just with different names. They’re picked up and thrown on the wings of a paper airplane on the screen of your smart device. Evil still delights …
