write a scene that takes place immediately after a tragedy. Don’t mention the tragedy..
she sat there on the sofa, shoulders dropped, eyes wide open staring at nothingness, still as stone.. comprehending the events that had unfolded in
past two months was not possible and imagining the string of events that were to follow was beyond her scope..
