Keplinger K. That s not what happened
Its been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarahs story -- that she died proclaiming her faith.But its not true.I know because I was with her when she died. I didnt say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarahs parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight... but Im not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did -- and didnt -- happen that day.Except Sarahs martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who dont take kindly to what Im trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about whats right. I dont know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up...
