Grief
Arriving home, Sally is greeted by police at the main door.
“Thieves have systematically worked over every condo in this block. Apartments have been robbed, trashed or vandalized, your apartment badly. We have a grief counselor on hand for you.”
The police accompanying Sally to inspect the crime scene hold open the door for her revealing a distressing sight of man-made mayhem.
“I’m sorry you have to see this. Has anything immediately obvious been stolen?”
Sally slowly takes in the shocking scene of devastation before saying, “No. This is how I left it this morning. I was in a rush.”
