Freak

A 21-year old male died of a drug overdose. He was the brother of my best friend's sister's boyfriend, and very addicted to drugs.

A 17-year old girl, who I saw in town just yesterday looking content for all I could tell, hanged herself on a native reserve. This girl was by no means unpopular, though she dropped out of school two years ago.

A 24-year old male, coach of our high school basketball team, beloved by many of my friends, drove his truck into a rock wall, very intoxicated, and was pronounced dead at the crash scene.

My town is tiny, and in shock right now. It's bad enough for one young person to die, but this is what has happened in the last 24 hours. I'm almost afraid to leave the house.
