Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Did someone die?

it would probably depend on the type of newsday/week it was, and how spectacular/tragic the accident was.

Lane Garrison dominated the news when he killed someone in a motor vehicle. If he had simply been in a car accident, I don't think he'd have had any headlines. He's what I'd consider a "that guy".

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If it was caught on tape, it would be all over TMZ, smoking Gun, Perez, etc. right away and also on the TV news. No tape, it would get covered, but probably not quite as intensely.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yes, someone has died. Okay, I just didn't want to create a disproportionate response.

I would think it would garner a little more attention if someone died. There would be lots of internet buzz, but a death would at least make the AP wire, you know?

Hey, it's Sunday.

I guess that means the bars prompt is now closed.

How about a photo drabble?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Crap! I am so dense.

What?

I forgot to do the drabble.
