Paris In Turmoil

I held the hand of a stranger lying face down with flying bullets spraying the room, killing, striking so many innocents frozen in terror. As I fled I realized she was dead from terrorist's merciless melee. © Connie Marcum Wong Note: I wrote this about a recent story on the news that touched me deeply. I am praying for all those who are suffering.
