buy the book All The Way By Water 4.0 out of 5 stars NEW WRITER worth READING By flyingtulips Family, Facts & Fiction. Wonderful thoroughly enjoyable story based in fact. Well written.

Bodies, still bleeding from bullet holes, were dragged along the walkway next to the National Mall Tidal Basin. Water flooding the banks of the basin covered much of the walk so the angry crowd tugged the bodies up across the grass and laid them under the cherry trees where kicks were applied at random to the swelling cadavers. Someone emptied a handgun into the very dead victims. Someone else brought a coil of rope, and soon there swung by the feet from the stoutest of the tree limbs, the former would-be dictator, his daughter, one ...
