Natural Selection

A school night, midnight. Two boys, 16yrs old, in a super enhanced car. The car flew, it literally jumped over a 40cm conrete fence and smashed into the wall ten feet behind it. Booze and blood splattered all over the place.

Two boys dead and one in intensive care.

"Don't label our children as 'boy' racers" read the headlines in the local newspaper.

The survivor, the one in intensive care, told the nurses to 'fuck off' and the doctors to 'get fucked'. His attitude hasn't improved in the following days.

The nurses have begun to lose sympathy, although some never had much in the first place. Some are saying 'natural selection'. Some have become inured to the tragic condition that is part of being human. It happens.

It is horribly tragic.
