A Conversation

Since the start of the pandemic with quarantining in place two co-workers check on each other by text. The co-workers, one white, one black correspond each day, about work and moral support during these times.Weekend Text between the two Co-workers : Co-worker 1: Hi. How are you? Co-worker 2: I am not doing too good. I am so sad and I can’t stop crying. Co-worker 1: I know. Isn’t it awful; all of the riots, protest and looting right?Co-worker 2: NO. I am extremely sad and crying because I saw a man’s murder. I cannot get the image of an innocent man’s murder and his lifeless body after he was killed by someone who is supposed to protect us. I can’t stop crying.
