Fratricide
The first image was of a young boy with a bat. Cute.
The second, blurry, showed the boy walking, dragging his bat with.
The third negative showed the boy with his (presumed) little brother.
The fourth: a picture of the boys laughing together.
The fifth image shows a shaky view of the older kid pushing the other.
The smaller child is crying on the ground in the sixth picture.
The seventh image: the older boy stands, smiling, over his brother.
The eighth: the older boy is seem raising the bat behind him.
Ninth: out of focus, the child swings at the little boy.
Tenth: a bloody snapshot of the bat's impact.
Eleventh: the swinging child's face up close.
The last picture, the twelfth,
showed a smiling young boy next to a beaten pulp.
