"I bought my tickets in advance on my iPhone app," said Justin Tyme, a sophomore at Steamboat Springs High School. "When I went to the theater to pick them up, there was this angry mob at the ticket window. The ticket seller said there was only one ticket left, and that's when it started. First the kids just did the usual stuff, like, you know, sending nasty text messages. Then, they started to pull out knives, swords, clubs, spears, and bows and arrows. It was crazy, for a second I thought I was at a hockey game."

The lone survivor, Barb Hooks, rose from the pile of bloody corpses, grabbed her ticket and ran immediately into the dark theater to watch the film. As the crowd poured out of the building, Miss Hooks proudly held her ticket high for all to see. "I have brought honor to the Junior Class of 2013," said a tearful Hooks. "My classmates all friended me on Facebook. The movie was pretty cool, too."
