Crazy Guilty

A decade ago, Courtney and her friends survived an attack so shocking it made the national news. Their classmate Olivia Kendall’s obsession with them, which had grown as her mental health declined, culminated in a scene of brutal violence. At least that’s the story they told. And with Olivia locked away in a mental institution, who is there to question them? Until Courtney sits down with a reporter for a ten-year retrospective. Because the longer the interview goes on, the more Courtney suspects the reporter knows more than she’s saying… This short story is 7900 words long. It can also be found in With Friends Like These, a psychological thriller short story collection.
