Part II

First assignment

Tragedy.

I first found out about Heath Ledger's death from a friend in passing.
I stood there disgusted, like it was a sick joke.
I didn't accept what I heard.
My mind tried desperately finding him in memorable scenes from movie screens.
I kept seeing his face, his smile, so iconic and loved.
I kept hearing his voice, the roles he played.
I just saw him!
He has a baby.
What are his friends and family doing?How did they all find out?
I'm fine with being in denial, but I don't know what to think when I'm bombarded with a tragedy and drenched with it.
I need time and space away from media to figure out why I am so deeply disturbed by this news.
