Mourning

I'm in mourning. Deep, deep mourning and sadness and I cannot even begin to describe the sense of loss and emptiness I feel. I'm in rage. Various profanities have poised themselves on my lips and I must fight them because they want to lash out and curse the bastards who smashed out the window in my car and made off with the most precious collection of belongings I've ever owned. Ah, but they're just belongings. Perhaps to some people, a box or a few boxes of books might be "just belongings," but not to me.

I know my books are not what the thieves were after because several books were left, carelessly tossed aside and in disarray lying among the not-sharp shards of busted-out car window glass. And it's all my fault for being such an idiot. It's going to take me a very long time ...
