So, this story starts out sort of alarming, but it ends with a very serious moral…at least if you are a writer (or also a human). I was headed to lunch with some teacher friends and some students a few days ago, and as we rounded the corner we saw no less than ten police cars, two fire engines, and an ambulance all parked around a section of parking lot, the perimeter of which was marked with police tape. Now, this in itself was alarming. That is a lot of emergency personnel in one spot for our relatively quiet and law abiding town. What alarmed me more, was that I discovered that it was in response to a shooting in the storefront business only a short time before…a storefront business two doors down from another that had been robbed less than a month ago…and is very close to businesses that I frequent on a daily basis (insert little panicked shriek here). But I digress...
