 ter.<br />A chopper. A gat.<br />A hammer<br />A tool<br />for RULE</p>\n<
 p style="padding-left: 30px\;">Or\, you can call it a gun. That's what fif
 teen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See\, hi
 s brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No
  snitching.&nbsp\;Revenge. That's where Will's now heading\, with that gun
  shoved in the back waistband of his jeans\, the gun that was his brother'
 s gun. He gets on the elevator\, seventh floor\, stoked. He knows who he's
  after. Or does he?</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px\;">As the elevator s
 tops on the sixth floor\, on comes Buck. Buck\, Will finds out\, is who ga
 ve Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that t
 he gun is even loaded. And that's when Will sees that one bullet is missin
 g. And the only one who could have fired Shawn's gun was Shawn. Huh. Will 
 didn't know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS
  DEAD. But Buck's in the elevator?</p>\n<p style="padding-left: 30px\;">Ju
 st as Will's trying to think this through\, the door to the next floor ope
 ns. A teenage girl gets on\, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck's cigaret
 te. Will doesn't know her\, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. 
 And stray bullets had cut through the playground\, and Will had tried to c
 over her\, but she was hit anyway\, and so what she wants to know\, on tha
 t fifth floor elevator stop\, is\, what if Will\, Will with the gun shoved
  in the back waistband of his jeans\, MISSES.</p>\n<p style="padding-left:
  30px\;">And so it goes\, the whole long way down\, as the elevator stops 
 on each floor\, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on 
 to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A 
 story that might never know an END...if WILL gets&nbsp\;off&nbsp\;that ele
 vator."</p>\n<p>In order to participate\, please click one of the&nbsp\;<s
