No Reason
She was always a shy child[/font][/font]
never in any trouble[/font][/font]
apart from when she threw[/font][/font]
a brick off the bridge [/font][/font]
over the motorway[/font][/font]
I expect she was egged on [/font][/font]
in a dare[/font][/font]
It bounced off a lorry[/font][/font]
and that was that[/font][/font]
there was no damage[/font][/font]
no-one was hurt[/font][/font]
but she was upset[/font][/font]
by what she'd done[/font][/font]
ran all the way home[/font][/font]
and blurted it out
[/font][/font]sensitive you see[/font][/font]
just like her Mum[/font][/font]
We had no idea
[/font][/font]
She spent a lot of time[/font][/font]
up there in her room[/font][/font]
but then most kids do[/font][/font]
these days, don't they[/font][/font]
We had no idea[/font][/font]
she would do anything like this[/font][/font]
not hang herself[/font][/font]
for no reason[/font][/font]

brutal and heartfelt to me.
It has such a sad overall hang to it.
Well written piece

Yes I understand, Riyah and I'm sorry if this touches anything raw in you. But as you know sometimes we have to write out these painful ideas.

Thanks Cthonian - this was written with the awful business in South Wales at the back of my head. Sensitive teenagers bored out of their minds ending up like this. A tears before words situation for me I'm afraid.
