This was a heavy read. The content is so dark, but I could barely put it down. The way it's written is haunting and incredibly powerful. I cried at multiple points because the story was so sad, and I think it accurately portrays how horrifying something like this would be.
<spoliers> The use of dramatic irony was so perfect. Jay asking Kevin to text him back but knowing Kevin was dead... Matt dying at the end... The way that Tyler almost seemed to win at the end because of him killing Tomàs and killing Autumn on the inside by shooting her knee. It was all so incredibly sad. <spoliers>
