Did you hear?

No. About what?

WHAT? You SERIOUSLY didn’t hear?

I paused. Keeping my mouth shut

Did you seriously not already see what’s on the news?

I shook my head, dumbfounded, looking confused

Oh boy, oh boy….you sure are going to be shocked

I began to perspire as my jaw started to lock

I was frozen in time, I could not move one foot

Anxious and nervous, until in my hands the remote was put

I clicked the red button and pointed it at the screen

I saw a photo of my face with the words “TRAGIC. DEAD TEEN”
