I can see why this is a winner. Yes this is a disturbing story but I like how you retell it so well with so few words.

I read the book "Helter Skelter" in high school and it gave me nightmares. Very creative to use footles to describe the happenings. Congrats on your win, William! Blessings, Kim M

'Twas a blood-curdling event perpetrated by the soulless who all were long-possessed. It is still disturbing, nonetheless, I thank you, Kim, for your share of the absurdity of it all, Aloha!
