    Memories of Murder

    ★★★★★

    Stifled screams fading into nothingness under the pouring rain. The supposed forces of good chasing this evil enigma resort to brutality and revenge in the face of incompetence. A thorny maze of dead ends and empty answers breed suffocating rage for the fate of the suffocated. But it leads nowhere.

Anonymous message boards serving as a place for people to find solace in. People who would have spiraled deeper into depression if it weren't for a celebrity or…
