Jensen Beach, "Wyoming"

I like this short flash piece, "Wyoming" from jmww.

It speaks to what we do and why we do it. It speaks to those stories that make us laugh or cry and why.

A line that stood out to me was: "People die all the time, of course, and it almost never makes the news unless the death was somehow unusual or horrific."

This story made me think about the kinds of deaths that we think about as tragic and why--the interconnectedness of life. Or at least some life. Why do some stories get to us and grab us while others don't?
