Excerpt
It began slowly at first. Then, little by little my emotions began to boil. And suddenly, I had a tremendous desire to stick a hand grenade under my roommate Amy's pillow. It's not that she committed terrible wrongs that infuriated me. Individually, those little things that she unconsciously did were not so bad, but when I added them up my "intolerance detector" went off. The combination of such little things as her leaving the toothpaste cover off, and forgetting to turn the water off completely and snapping bubble gum soon drove me completely crazy. In the days following my snap, during those useless moments when I would catch myself staring at the library wall or waiting for the food line to proceed, I became aware that a master plan of vengeance had taken shape in my mind.
