Boys can be so mean, but no one’s an angel. The meeting and what would be done were planned to the guy would not die, but jump in. If it weren’t for the pool, he would have taken a long time to burn, or worse, he would roll around until the flames were out, but living through the aftermath as it is is bad enough. I’d find a way to snuff myself rather than live the next 60 years in hell on earth.
