._. Well damn it all, my hometown strikes again. One of my pals from middle school's brother went missing on May 4th. They've been frantic for him. If any of you who I have on facebook have been stalking my profile, you've probably noticed me spamming it with a missing person notice recently. That's my friend's brother. His name is Mical.
The local newspaper in Truth or Consequences, The Herald, announced that a body had been found believed to be Mical. Another local gent that I went to school with, Willie, has been arrested for murder, arson, tampering with evidence, and burglary. Effing really? You killed Briana's brother, even having grown up together, even knowing damn full well that he had a wife and a young child, knowing damn full well that his family was frantic for him, over a stupid robbery? I don't even ><
So that makes 5 people that I know of who I went to school with who have died in the 7 years since high school graduation. Chris Bailey was mugged and murdered as he left his church youth group. Mario Cant-spell-his-name was killed in a hate crime for homosexuality in California. Steve Draggoo was killed in a hate crime for homosexuality. Mical Culpepper was murdered during a robbery by someone we all knew and trusted. And my bestie from middle school, Rachel, died in the hospital from complications from a tick bite.
I... I thought we were invincible, sort of. :-(
