Death Comes Too Late

 

A book of short stories. Some were pretty good, others were just meh. One of the stories that really stuck out to me was about two high schoolers who love to play arcade games at a local pizza place. One of the boys was very poor, so his friend comes up with a way to give him $10 in quarters for his birthday without the other boy knowing it came from him. It backfires, unfortunately, when the owner of the pizza place jokes that he must have robbed someone to get all that money. One of the workers sees the young man angrily flinging quarters all over the street and decides to rob the arcade games and pin it on him. It had a really tragic ending. Well, to be fair, most of them did.
