dark cloud

its a dark day when a local dies...
its a black day when its a child...
its not a day at all when its someone you know...
what is it when its all three...


there was an accident last night/this morning. a fatal accident. here at the office they have been on the phone since seven to find out who it is. its always this way. we all want to know. help. console. what else does a person do? you always hope its not true and not some one you know. but, then you are hoping it was someone else. someone else daughter, sister, friend...
who was it...
how did it happen...
who were they with...
yeah, if its who they say, we know the answer to all those questions and more. only because it so small town and we all know each other so well, almost nothing will surprise us except the when was it going to happen. i hate this shit... i hate that i might know the dad, boyfriend, sister, mom...
i hate knowing that if they are right the town will undoubtedly change for all those people....
I'll know in a minute, our office gal just went to where the best friend is reportedly hanging out and sobbing. we know her too. we know her dad. and if it is who we think, her dad would have been serving the driver of the car until closing.
it never ends.
it never fails.
it is never any easier...
as i get older, the more i see. death, love, life, new beginnings and lives cut short. it was all so long ago when it started. friends in junior high rolled a stolen car after a party. a party i was at. popular people. people who if would have asked me to go with them i would have said yes... what does it mean to be popular then... I've convinced folks into my car time and time again... luckily everything turned out... death came into my life so long ago...
not all are so lucky.
not all have survived.
less have learned from it.
office gal has been gone a long time now and when she returns this wont be pretty. this will not be a good day. she just walked in the door. and said that the parents are at fernwood waiting for a sheriff to tell them whats going on. that could take hours. we don't have cops here and they hate coming here, they hate the locals, they hate accidents involving kids and alcohol and drugs even more...
what will it be then.
who will it be now.
why them, why this time....


to be continued....



edit: yep... driver was in a dark green truck. rolled it. ejected the girl from the truck. she died and he fled the scene... fled the scene!!!! *blood starts to boil*
ideally this town will sort him out... find him and make him re-disappear... before her dad finds him...


gah, i feel so bad for her dad... his girls are his life... fuck
