Today is Cruel
Today is the day terrible tragedy will befall multiple different people.
Today is the day one woman will find out her husband is cheating on her. He'll come home late again, and she'll be waiting, with a loaded shotgun.
Today is the day one man will rob a family's home, not realizing the mother and son are still there. Things will get out of control, and he'll stab them both to death.
Today is the day one boy will be messing around with his father's gun and shoot his younger brother.
Today is the day nothing particularly special will happen.

Awesome story! It was really compelling and a, sadly, true commentary on the way we take such tragedy as mudane happenings.

Brilliant closing line and as a whole, a ringing endorsement for gun control.

'Like the twist that takes you back to the title. Amidst all this tragedy, it is easy to complain about a boring day...
