A Thousand Cuts

This one has stuck with me, particularly the story of Felix, whose mother tells a Detective that not one single person will remember her son once news of his death has passed from the media. The Detective in question is investigating a horriffic school shooting: a bullied teacher brings a gun to an all-school assembly addressing the bullying beating of an underclassman. Rifewith moral questioning, this story, told in alternating chapters between the Detective's first-person experiences as a harrassed woman in the Police Bureau, and the one-sided interviews of subjects spoken to regarding the case, brings issues of bullying, respect, and responsibilit to the fore.
