    When I finished reading the few pages that were assigned. I was left in awe. It's crazy how so much can occur without anyone knowing what is really going on.

The character of both the gunman and his victims revealed itself in those final seconds, as eight guns became the border between weakness and dominance. Power, or the lack thereof, is very often the deciding factor between good and evil.
