RAGE

by Greg T. Nanni

Two anonymous trolls fall in love online as they conduct internet witch burnings as part of a perverse social justice movement known as The Conflagration. Against the group's rules, they decide to meet in person and discover they've been lying to each other and themselves about who they really are. An exploration of love in a time of cancel culture propagated by a generation full of rage.
