The Flaw by D.M. Rasey

Mass shooting events have become a mainstay of the news since two disgruntled high school students murdered 12 students and one teacher before committing suicide on April 20, 1999. Identified at the time as the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history, this event brought mass shooting events to the forefront of public consciousness, and these tragedies have continued to cause shock and unrest in communities across the country and keep political hot topics like “gun control” in the national discourse for the duration.

The definitive answer, if there is one, as to why these things happen has yet to be discovered, but what if a manufactured virus was damaging the frontal lobes of unsuspecting citizens and providing a catalyst for these acts of unprovoked evil? This is the theory arrived at by Noah, a student at MIT—that these events are caused by a virus created for the government.
