Today in the Local (not funny)

I fell asleep to the sounds of fire truck sirens last night, hoping that only a house would burn, and everyone would be safe. I'm so sad to read today that 3 little boys died in that fire, ages 3, 4, and 11 years old. I'm so sorry for their family. Not that it isn't always sad when people die, children especially, but I HEARD the sirens, I was listening as these boys took their last breaths in tears and terror, maybe alone, maybe they had each other, I don't know. But I was safe in my bed with my kids in theirs, and these boys were dying in terror. Normal little boys put on their pjs, brushed their teeth, ran and laughed, jumped in to bed, snuggled under the covers for the night, and now they're dead.
