1. How the newspaper quoted him. When people saw the headline in the news they began turning on him.
A. His family was dead, and some editor somewhere had changed his words into a confession.
The horror of that day still lingered–dizzy from whatever the EMT had injected him with, he could only repeat what the man had said. “I did it! I did it!” And at their looks he’d explained: “‘I did it! I did it!‘ he kept saying. Over and over again. It was all he would say as he killed them. That madman murdered my family. And I couldn’t do anything to stop him.“–as did the effects of his follow-up breakdown.
He hadn’t been able to work, and not just because people had ceased to hire him.
He got anxiety attacks. His heart would suddenly begin pounding and his head would get floaty and would feel like it was too large.
He’d thrown up a few times just from thinking about people looking at him. Judging him.
He was a nervous wreck. And he blamed the media.
They’d turned his worst day into the worst ten years of his life.
