It’s a scary world

I walked my two puppies under an after-midnight sky. It was warm and quiet. There was darkness up above, many stars, then a jumbo jetliner noisily cutting the early morning sky — and I had a chilling thought. As I watched that aircraft, I thought that it could suddenly burst in flames and come crashing down to Earth in just seconds.

Sadly, this is the terrorist-filled world that we all call home.
