Rant Rant Rant

A couple days ago in the Age, and on the radio, there was news about a fire on the foreshore in Brighton or somewhere like that, and then a bit later reports of a burned body found there. Yesterday I read the article, and a woman had been evidenced from the charred remains. She'd lost all her top teeth, like some years previously, and was wearing high heeled shoes, tight leggings and a crop top.
A group of 4 or 5 teenagers or young men were seen running from the scene shortly before the fire trucks arrived.
It made me think of the kind of life you'd have to lose all your top teeth, be doing sex work, clearly, from that combination of toothlessness and sex-worker clothes, and to end up being burned to death on a foreshore by 4 or 5 teenagers or young men. What hell is that. The poor, poor woman.

Me, I'm, still failing to quit smoking. Thats my big problem. I bet she wished she had a problem like that.
