Breaking into Cars

This was the combination of all those fake gory deaths in the horror movies we love, balanced out by those clean looking deaths with no blood in the detective and cop shows on TV. Only reality seems to get it right, but hey, use your imagination! Why should it be you lying there a bloody mess that someone else has to find? Why, for instance, didn’t this guy—and as far as I could tell, this had been a guy about my own age; why had he not taken cover? Was he just too late, or hadn’t he believed the hype? He had part of a camera next to him, or his cell phone, I couldn’t tell, but there was enough to know that he had been taking pictures or videos. Too cool for covershould be on his tombstone, after they scrape him all together and put him in a coffin. His family and friends will all cry in public and call him stupid and worse in private.
