Blood Diamond

I watch these movies set in Africa, about the civil war and death and unrest and refuges and pain. And I cry. And I cry. And I want to help them. But I feel at such a loss. I find myself unwilling and afraid to make any real sacrifice in order to go over there and try to do something. I am afraid of getting hurt. I am afraid of the culture shock. But most of all, I'm afraid of being useless. I'm afraid of being alone. And then I find myself wondering how we can really do any good...it's like we're just putting bandaids on a gaping chest wound. Because, in the end, it comes down to this: How do we get people to stop killing each other? And I have no answer. I have no solution. I don't even have any ideas, good or bad.

I just feel useless and at a loss

Plots/Prompts

Looking for any Kony or Chlack plots/prompts. I can't promise I'll get to them right away, but I'm having trouble convincing myself of what to write next. And I like having a fic to-do list. So....yeah. Bunnies are welcome (although I ask that they do not involve much pregnant Chloe or children - sorry Rory)
