Bad News — Madeleine Hunter

“Bad news alters the world at once. It changes the air. A human heart knows grief is coming as surely as a horse senses an approaching storm."

My Thoughts:

This describes excellently the feeling when you see a person who is going to tell you bad news. You get this feeling of foreboding. You know it is going to be bad even before a word has been said, you can sense it in the air, feel it, see it, almost smell it. And for a moment you hope you could just keep on living in ignorance, that you could just continue your life without the bad tidings.

Before the bad news there is almost something like anticipation in the air. There is a calm before the storm where one just stops to think what horrible things just have happened. But bad news are also hard to avoid and ignore... just like a storm.
