Deloris H. Netzband Summering In Dresden (excerpt)
|
| Each year there is at least one-near drowning. One mishap that for Dresden takes on the magnitude of the crop of murders one expects in urban areas. This is no shark-attack fantasy like the popular movie and its sequels. This is real tragedy in this modern-day Eden. Some little girlbody, boybody sinks beneath the dark lake waters and is almost lost in the secure gated world of privilege. It is hard to change the rituals of summering even if the ultimate loss occurs. The vigilance may increase for a time. Perhaps you might see alarm flicker across otherwise tranquil faces until the summer ends. But everyone feels so safe, so entitled to the privileges of paradise. |
