The News from On Off Digital World
There was no escaping it. Walk into any department store, with all the television sets on display, and it was right there. For me, it was at On Off Digital World when I heard the news. Unconsciously I stopped dead in my tracks outside their storefront windows, arrested by the image displayed on the television screens — and then the word “dead” confirmed my suspicions. And so it was different this time, different from all the other times his face had flashed across the screen throughout all the years. Osama bin Laden was no more. Wow. There I was, just enjoying the day, when suddenly the Global War on Terror reminded me, quite out of nowhere, that even the simplest things in life, like good weather, hang by the slimmest of threads.
