Their Story Begins

This is not a blog about me. I do not have a story to tell. This is a blog about the people who cannot tell their story themselves. Because, despite the universality of the Internet, and the memes that spread across the country, and the countless other blogs out there, some people don’t know what is happening to them. Sometimes they don’t have a blog of their own. Sometimes they don’t have a helpful anonymous outsider on the Internet to tell them what is happening to them.

And maybe that’s a good thing. For, as they say, ignorance is bliss. Perhaps it is best that most of the world doesn’t know what is happening to their neighbors or what that homeless vagabond is running from. What would knowledge accomplish other than Fear?

I am an observer, nameless and anonymous. And though I don’t believe that everyone should learn of the monsters under their beds and in their closets, I believe that their victims’ stories should be heard.
