All the Dead Fallen Leaves

By M. Blair

Why did he do it?
On October 31st 2007, former student Will Bellman and his friend Taylor walked into their old school and started shooting.
They called it their day of judgement, 'Tribulation'.
This is Will's story, unfolding through evidence released five years after the bloodbath. It encompasses his diary entries from freshman to senior year, and a heartrending goodbye to his childhood sweetheart Chloe. In addition, Temporal Magazine contributes to the narrative with an exclusive interview, wherein Chloe breaks her silence for the first time since that fateful day.
All that Will Bellman wants is what everyone wants. Acceptance. Security. Love. But an accident when he was a child that left his sister dead and his face and mind badly scarred marks him as an easy target for bullies. Guilt has been eating him alive for years, and hope is not an emotion he's familiar with.
Kids can be brutal. School can be hell. And for Will, most days are dark. Not even Chloe, who he has loved forever, can make him smile. He doesn't think he deserves her anyway.
The tide begins to turn when Taylor transfers to his high school. Taylor isn't like the others. He's Will's brother-in-arms against the tormentors, and for the first time, Will feels like he's not alone in the fight. Maybe they'll even get some backup from the mysterious friends Taylor never shuts up about, Eric and Dylan.
But when Will loses all hope - again - the dark idea Taylor has joked about for years gradually starts to seem reasonable. Even justified. Will must decide: turn away from it all... or set in motion a terrible plan that will destroy everyone who ever did them harm.
The choice is his.
