last night my sister was upset with me for the fact that I am afraid of walking in our neighborhood alone at night. "you shouldn't be afraid. that is ridiculous."
about a month ago, about a block from our house, a woman was abducted, raped, and beaten, left locked inside an outhouse at a construction site not far away. the abduction happened at about seven p.m.
fucked up things happen everywhere, but really: tell me what is ridiculous.
