 Yesterday, I watched three men die because one man sneezed in a room full of blood and shit and light. Today, three more men go in, cheap mops, and each other's lives in their hands. Yesterday, I watched a man I admired gunned down for leaving a rose for a girl whose life was tantric by trauma she never deserved. Today, she doesn't remember, and three holes down, I can hear her screaming. Yesterday, I watched a group of soldiers go down fighting against the corpses of comrades who died before them. Today, we test another sample, this time on children. Yesterday, I watched five men and women gunned down in an abandoned factory no one cares about. Today, it happens again and again, every 11 seconds, forever. Yesterday, I watched a man sit comfortably in a nice armchair, sipping scotch and laughing as he ordered a woman to simply stop breathing. Today, he gets the day off of work detail for good behavior. Yesterday, I watched hundreds of men and women in orange jumpsuits, herded like animals into empty rooms that's filled with gas and fire. Today, hundreds more are told they have a chance for a lighter sentence and a chance to serve their country. Yesterday, I watched the world nearly die in a thousand, thousand terrible ways. Sometimes, we would have had time to scream. Today, I'm alive to write about it. You want happy endings? F*** you! You're alive to read it. God help us all. Secure. Contain. Protect. End of file.
