Only 2 Dead In Bearable Tragedy
DOVER, WI—In an incident local residents have described as more-or-less tolerable, authorities announced Friday that only two were dead in what many were calling a completely bearable tragedy. “We’re all still searching for words to talk about this loss—but the first that occurred to me were ‘small’ and ‘understandable,’” said Dover Police Chief Andrew McDonagh, who stressed that the deaths of elderly couple Jim and Nancy Firks in a house fire were “entirely endurable” in the grand scheme of things. “You expect misfortune this routine to happen elsewhere. But here in our small town? Well, that makes sense as well. It’s really a very imaginable loss.” McDonagh added that a small candlelight vigil would be held for the deceased at 7 p.m. for anyone still processing the loss, but admitted few in the town would likely need such a thing.
