The Story Gets Worse

WEST NEW YORK, N.J., Oct. 11 - About a year ago, a girl was born in this working-class town and was promptly flung out of a third-floor window. She tumbled down a thin air shaft, naked, her umbilical cord still attached. Her head smashed into the concrete 31 feet below. She died instantly. And there she lay, unnamed, buried in a grave of garbage and cigarette packs.

September 13th and that little dead girl has a baby brother. He too is thrown from the same window, but survives despite a cracked skull and a couple of black eyes. When the cops find him they also find the body of his sister - by that time partially mummified.

The mother of the two children is 18, their father is 44 and also their grandfather.

Found via Mr Warren Ellis who also turned up the wonderful story of a surgeon still practicing in Aukland despite killing one patient and damaging three others. 'Damage' in this instance means that one woman only became aware of how wrong her surgery had gone when she passed excrement through her vagina.
