i just heard on the news that there was a stabbing in my old apartment complex, right on the same street i lived on. granted, it's been a long time since i've lived there and these acts of violence could happen anywhere, but it is more impactful when i actually know the exact spot where something horrible has occurred... like i can almost imagine the possibility of it happening to me.
it's always scary when you can picture the surroundings vividly. i remember feeling the same way when there was a armed robbery on my street and thinking, well, that could have been me at 6pm. suddenly your favorite tree becomes kind of sinister
