Behind every monster is the story of how they became one. What causes a teenager to shoot up a school? What pre-empts the shocking violence and disregard for human life that has become so tragically common in America? Are "school shooters" born... or created? While these individuals are reported on as "monsters" in the media, let us always remember: they were human first. RUN HIDE FIGHT is a jarring exploration of the factors at-play in the psyche of violent young Americans, packaged in a fictional short story. Award-winning author Trisha Fenimore hopes the piece will spark a wider conversation on the varied levels and ways in which we dehumanize one another in our society.
