The Price of Utopia
It’s all over the news; two boys walked into their high school and gunned down ten people. Students. Teachers. No care for social status. The two boys wore trench coats and listened to heavy metal, perhaps even worshiped the devil.
The next day the jocks apologize to the goths. The popular girls flirt with band nerds. Everyone’s nervous, being overly friendly to avoid something like that from happening at their school. No one’s going to be picked on this year.
The two boys shake hands with the president, their mission accomplished. Phase one of Utopia is complete.
