This week, the theme for my writing assignment was "poison." All I had to do to find inspiration was read a single day of my Facebook newsfeed. Seriously.
Seeing it all at once like this is the final straw for me. My challenge now is to find a way to limit these types of stories from overwhelming me each and every day.
Anyway, for better or for worse, here it is.
