Terrible


The explosion not far from the finish line

All anyone can think is, "What is happening?!!?!

Then the second explosion occurs

And suddenly, everything is chaos

Mad, mad chaos

A terrorist attack

An attack by two men, young

Several die, many injured

Blood and fire everywhere

No one can rest

All because of the terrible event they have just witnessed

The attack on marathoners

The attack that caused a six year old to die

The only question left . . . is WHY?
