Take me, for instance. My name is KZ. For a good time, come find me at Prosaic Shades of Gray.

When my grandma talks about how the world was like when she was a little girl growing up, it seems like a fairyland compared to how it is now. She said she could leave her front door wide open all night and nothing would have happened. It's amazing how much the world can change in one person's lifetime. I'm afraid that when I get to be my grandma's age that the world will be that much worse from what it is now. What horrors will my children have to live through? Will they even make it to adulthood? The 9-11 attack terrifies me because, whether I'm being pessimistic or not, I only see the world getting worse. And getting worse than something like that is horrifying. It’s so odd.
