Black Friday by Alexander C. Irvine

4.0

It's hard to make the modern American political landscape, especially surrounding guns, any more absurd than it already is, but Alexander C. Irvine managed it. Black Friday as a patriotic event where armed families kill each other at the mall -- why not?
The main character as a self-identified liberal was a particularly great sardonic touch. This is also the perfect length; short, punchy, gets the satirical point across, and doesn't wallow in its depressing content for too long.
