Sometimes The Words Just Won't Come

Last week I found out that a former co-worker of mine had been arrested on a number of charges including capital murder. Apparently she had gotten involved with a bad crowd and had helped rob someone who later turned up dead.

I could post a link to a news story giving more info but for her mother's sake, I won't.

I don't know what else to say.

The woman in question did not seem like a criminal when I knew her ten years ago, but then most criminals don't seem like criminals. And evidently she has changed over the years.

There's not much else I can say apart from expressing my condolences to her mother and the victim's next-of-kin.

Life, alas, is full of sad surprises.
