Hiding from a Coworker

A coworker stops to talk Her sister has nine lives She has died six times already I have no reply She gives me the details All of them a bit worse than the last Then she mentions her brother. He has been in prison. For driving drunk and killing four Three in another car, and his three-year-old-son I am horrified, how much worse can this get? She comes back to give me extra details. I can barely function now Terrified there will be another story I do not think I can take one more But she has three more; I lock my door and hide.
