Little girl turns tsujigiri

"Tsujigiri" is a Japanese word meaning "Samurai who kills a man with a sword in the street." This very creepy story from Mainichi Daily News seems like a perfect post to usher in our blog's new title:
Mainichi Daily News: 'I sat her down because I wanted to slit her throat. I always intended to kill her,' the 11-year-old girl currently in custody told the police. The girl, who fatally slashed Satomi's neck with a paper cutter in a room at their Sasebo elementary school, has admitted she chose the location because nobody would be able to see what she was doing. ...The pair then argued briefly about comments about the girl that Satomi had posted on a website. The girl then moved behind Satomi, used one hand to cover her victim's eyes and the other to unleash the deadly strokes with the paper cutter that killed her classmate.

The blog is a conduit to the soul, which is solid yet fluid, like the tectonic plates which float atop the hot magma fluid of the Earth's core. The soul may lie peaceful for many years, while secret thoughts build around silent faults. Then, suddenly, the time for change arrives. The life you once knew is ended in one stroke of the mind's blade, drowned in a flood of violent pink. Gone forever, yet something greater newly born. HAIYA!
