Summary

A short story about the dangers of nationalism and violence against outsiders, this piece was partially inspired by my own experiences growing up in an NYC suburb in the shadow of the events of 9/11. It touches upon the occasional ugliness and cruelty of children spurred on by the larger systems of nationalism, xenophobia, racism, and homophobia baked into our cultural hegemony.
