EPIGRAPH "They don't see what they're doing. The only thing they see are their intentions." — Amy Neftzger, The Orchard of Hope.
EXTENDED SUMMARY Like most sixteen-year-olds, Cain Terranova has a lot on his mind. He worries that his slightly demonic dog will piss in his book-bag for the third time this week. He worries that there might be a day when glitter goes out of style. He worries that the cops will realize that all of the murders he's committed are tied together and he's the sole person responsible and they'll lock him up forever and he'll be forced to wear orange, of all things, for the love of God, Jesus Christ, and all things holy, why do prison jumpsuits have to be such a mind-blowingly shittastic shade of hungover rabbit vomit orange? Typical teenage things like that. But then he contracts a mysterious parasite-virus-bug-thing, which, no, it isn't an STD, for the last time, he's completely clean, and, all of a sudden, he gets a whole new slew of things to worry about. Like the fact that he's probably — no, screw that — that he's definitely going to die. And the fact that the world's gonna end. And the universe will most likely implode in on itself. And it's all his fault. But, more importantly, he's going to die. In simple terms, he fucked up so bad it's almost like he's a rich white businessman that decided to run for president with no experience whatsoever under his belt. And now he's in charge of putting a big enough bandaid on the world to fix his mistakes before it's too late.
CONTENT WARNING Mainly just vulgar language and dick jokes, but also some slightly heavier themes and ideas. There's also some brief racism/police brutality. Please let me know if there's anything in specific you guys would want me to put a specific warning about on chapters or if there's something I forgot to put a warning about.
