In a nation where school shootings have become commonplace occurrences, platitudes about thoughts and prayers underscore the futility of preventing gun deaths without meaningful reform. In this hard-hitting satire, participants in a shooting anticipate their future deaths with a blasé resignation that makes their tragic outcomes all the more shocking. A powerful indictment of gun violence.
