Upon the Sweeping Flood

The first time I read Upon the Sweeping Flood, I could not understand
the ending. I now have a hard time reading it, with the crazed
protagonist beating the life out of the boy. Watching the horror on TV
about such things happening on such a massive scale made me think again
about this story. JCO's realistic portrayal of senseless tragedy
captured that sense of horror.
