The tale of a spiraling, suicidal boy and his blissfully ignorant friend.
---
Eli Saunders was the boy down the street. Eli Saunders was the boy with a smile on his face. Eli Saunders was the boy with the world in the palm of his hand. Eli Saunders was a lot of things, but suicidal wasn't one of them.

At least, that's what Malina thought, all the way until Eli Saunders was the boy who took a bullet to the head. Eli Saunders became the boy who wound up dead.
