You describe the current atmosphere of this place so well in the chill of winter when the frost stings and memories are crisp.
This happened many years ago near me, my friend's 14 yr old boy, and my friend never got over it, she lost her mind in the end, so they killed her as well in reality.

This was so very close to where we live and has prevented me from going back to a favourite beauty spot. Thank you so much fir stopping by. All the best to you. 🌹
Yes Chris, some actions mock our thinking of humanity and leave an indelible mark on people and places where caring and compassion still exist.
With each victim cut down we hope it will be the last, but it never seems to quite get to the end of man's inhumanity to man (or boy in this case)
A reminder that beautiful places can and are tarnished with hate and indifference for a life too.

So senseless and yet these knife crimes seem to becoming more and more frequent. A tragedy of our times. Children killing children on top of all the adults killing other adults. How did we get to this situation? There’s cheerful for ya.

There has and never will be a time that the majority of people who believe in aliens, hopes not!
Aliens would hyperbolt the hell out of here the minute they saw what were actually like.
No alien contact because we are on the equivalent of the naughty step!

Beautifully written for a sad incident that stirred our dear poet to remember and share.
I feel knifing is sadly used to take away dear lives as they do with guns in the US every day here and there.
Man can be a devil or can be an angel; our choices.
