THE AFTERMATH

The Aftermath
Events and tragedies happen so often and in so many places that we don't get the time to really think about the after effects, especially on the minds and spirits of those involved. Sometimes tragedies create other tragedies. Take the horrible storm ( Dorian ) that hit the Bahamas this past week.
The aftermath will affect the government, the victims, the clean up crew as well as the banks, the churches and the tourist industry.
Let's take the clean up crew, working in the hot sun with most of the trees blown over and thus not able to provide shade. Walking among the debris and rubble which can cause injury in itself, they find bloated bodies. The stench itself is enough to stay in their memory for a lifetime. These good souls willing to do what must be done yet altering their lives in several ways, ways they would never have chosen on their own.
Dorian will alter their theology, their finances, their social standing, their health and will cancel out dreams they had of the future. And they are all aware that another storm may hit the island in their lifetime.
