‘The cell phones in the pockets of the students were still ringing when we were told that it was wrong to ask why.’
Once I read these words I couldn’t shake the feeling of those echoing rings as parents sobbed on the other end of the line. Like a seed, the pain grew into a single take that hoped to get past finger pointing around gun control. That noise on the news is a way to escape the tragedy, helping us look away from the carnage and find new ways to not imagine our loved ones waiting to be carried off.
