I'm shocked to report that we've had more crime in my once peaceful and quiet 'hood. Last night, police found a man that had been murdered in his house, less than a mile from The Compound. Details are sketchy, but it appears that the man had been dead for over a week. I don't know what bothers me more - the fact that a man was murdered less than a mile from my home, or the fact that he was murdered over a week ago and nobody in his neighborhood said or did anything.
The news reports don't say who tipped off the police that there migh be a dead body in the house, but apparently his neighbors and co-workers didn't care much about him. The news channels were all over the neighborhood, interviewing people that lived close to the guy, and they mentioned how they hadn't seen him for a couple of weeks, but yet they didn't say anything because they thought he was on vacation. And there were no reports of his boss or co-workers wondering where he had been for almost two weeks, either. How sad is that?
It's a tragic way to go, being murdered in your own home, and sad to leave this world without people missing you and wondering where you are.
