Dear History of Violence

It started with their dad's dad. Then their dad. Then them. A long history of violence.
Dear History of Violence, what was so special about these two families. The Kellys were your punching bag. And the Coopers shattered by your ricochet. You didn't just tear these families apart, you tore their whole town apart. With something as simple as a hunk of metal. Used twice. Once for violence inflicted on theirselve and once for violence inflicted on others. How much more will you take? And when will enough be enough? Sincerely, your author.
