This is my first piece submitted to dA in 9 months, and 25 days. I had nowhere else to post it, so I came back to post it here.

Why did I post this? Because it occurs to me every single time I watch the news, I get depressed.

I might be cynical, but this is the way I view modern news.

Inspired by the Boston Marathon Bombings.

May those who were injured have swift recoveries, and those who lost their lives find a swift path to whatever enlightened place they believed in.

To the media: You make me sick.
