On Sunday, a kid from my school named
Anthony Fernandes got hit by a train
and died. I kind of knew him, but it was
so much harder on everyone in the school.
There was a prayer service last night. One
of the English teachers was crying so much
that he had to sit down. The reality of this
is just...I can't find a word for it. He was
just walking on the train tracks (I know you're
thinking no one does that, and how stupid it was..
but whatever), and the train was coming, and he
walked to the other tracks to avoid it. But of
course, the train was just switching to that side.
I feel like this town is so fucking burdened. Last
year, a kid named Chris Metropolis commited suicide.
He was a grade A student, who was so active. But one
day his mom came home and found him hanging from the
chandelier. Practically 2 people die each month here.
Wether it be a student, a parent, or a teachers wife.
I need to get out.
