Today

24 died in Pakistan today
24 hearts extinguished in 5 seconds
24 people won’t ever talk, see or feel again.

A very new phone is coming out on the 9th of November
Exclusive deal with an exclusive network provider…

A 16 year old killed a 13-year-old boy today.
Reasons unknown.
Maybe he just wanted a different coloured mobile phone.
Maybe he was just bored.

A big super market has a special deal for washing powder at the moment
2 for 1, only 2.99 !
A unique perfume and no matter how dirty your clothes get…

A woman got attacked today.
She screamed so loud that she scared the attacker away
And he ran off. Only to try it again,
With a different woman, 3 days later.
This time the woman is too scared to scream.

But a very famous singer is having a very public divorce battle.
There are some nasty little private details leaking out.
But we’re talking Millions of dollars here….

A suicide bomber killed 80 people in Iraq today.
About 60 were injured.
49 of them will survive; the other will die of the injuries later.

But more interestingly a very famous socialite and reality TV star
Decided to go to Africa and help the poor after she experienced some difficulties with the law
(you didn’t miss her going to jail did you?).
More on that later.

A car hit a little girl today. The driver didn’t stop and drove off.
He got caught later thanks to CCTV footage.
He was 2 times over the legal drink driving limit.

Now more importantly the weather:
Tomorrow 15 degrees Celsius. Cloudy with sunny intervals.

the words that come to mind - beautiful/horrible - beautifully written social comment - horrible truths of our society. Excellent last two lines. This is a perfectly balanced and rounded piece of writing.
