Yet in their stark, simple awfulness they tell a story so tragic and heart rending that I found it hard to keep clicking the next button. Well not quite tell a story; they show the outward signs of a nightmare life so terrifying that it's hard for most people to even *imagine* the details. We see just the surface, nothing more, but the surface is enough to show us the unspeakable hell that must have been this person's life. <snip> - ----------------------------------- Hello David, I teach grades 5-12 to 19 students on a small island (big rock) in the middle of the Bering Sea. I showed these 10 photos to my kids today. What a powerful story; they've never seen anything like it. We often TALK about drugs in our class. But again, the old saw, "A picture is worth a thousand words"... Thanks. norm St. George Island, Alaska
