Fate.

The development of events beyond a persons control.

Beyond my control. Beyond anyone's.  Not my fault.

Bullets ricocheting of walls. Not my fault. Blood seeping through the ground. Not my fault.

But was it beyond my control? Our control?

What drives someone to kill others.

I don't think I'll ever know.

....

Told between before the dark and after, the story of  a tragic school shooting is woven into a short story about trauma, loss, and reality of America today. Morgan Amy never thought something like this would ever affect her. But now it's everywhere. Loss is laced in ever word she speaks, blood is stained permanently on her hands. She was supposed to be safe. But she wasn't. And now nothing will ever be the same.

What drives someone to kill?

...

This story is dedicated to the 438 (as of feb 15) innocent teachers, faculty members, and students who have lost their lives in a school shooting.

You are not forgotten.

#neveragain.
