CJ Watches the News

CJ MADE A frozen chicken pot pie for dinner and watched the news.
An Afghan in exile warned that civil war will break out as soon as U.S. troops leave the country. The Taliban quickly will return to power, he predicted, causing renewed civil war against contrary tribes and especially against the country's minority of Christians. There will be a blood bath that makes the current beheadings and suicide bombings look like a family squabble.
CJ finished dinner and dozed off before the news was over. He slept through the story of the young man who had chopped up the body of his fiancée and kept her in his basement freezer for six months. By the time CJ awoke to canned laughter, a sitcom was on. It was all he could do to drag himself to bed.
