I hadn’t even turned on the TV. But when I finally did, I wished I hadn’t. The news reports rolled across the screen, detached and polished, delivered by a woman with too-perfect hair. A massacre, that’s what she called it. My father, my mother and my older brother Gabriel. All gone. The footage blurred, but I caught enough.

I had him exactly where I wanted him.And then I pushed for more.
