Los Angeles, one year before the Chosen Killings

The Lord of the Flies Murders.

That was what they were being called, thanks to a letter that had been sent to channel seven news claiming responsibility and offering a partial quote from William Golding's book: /"Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart.../"

So far, there had been four victims. All that had been found of them were their headless bodies, discarded in dumpsters at different locations in downtown Los Angeles. Though much of the blood had drained from the corpses, trace amounts of Ketamine were found. Whoever killed them had drugged them first, and then lopped off their heads. The cuts were clean, the work of a massive, razor-sharp blade.
