“Man had come to a point in time when the embers of long held resentment so easily fueled petty squabbles which in turn ignited the flames of gross conflagration. More often than not, those flames were sparked by a poor choice of words or an untimely moment of misstep. Yet when faced with indisputable evidence of a truly despicable act, the very voices that might shout to the rooftops over any other perceived slight, whether real or imagined, suddenly went silent. Their tongues stopped wagging, their shoulders shrugged, their fingers no longer moved across keyboards as they turned their heads away in apathetic indifference.” ~ The Fifth (2021)
