Black Friday

It is supposed to be another Friday: people normally go to work  trying to finish their urgent tasks and thinking of "to do lists" during weekends. Instead, most people couldn't come to work due to lack of transport or come to work worrying about their safe return in the afternoon. 
It is supposed to be a pleasant evening for everyone: we could enjoy our dinner @ favorite restaurants or look for new novels @ favorite book store. Instead, we ended up cooking from scratch. ( Stir fried chicken with holy basil and omelette).
It is supposed to be a tranquil night: everyone could sit back and enjoy their preferred program or talk about their activities in beautiful way. Instead, we are stuck with local news program trying to find out what happened, what is happening and what will happen next.
